In order for plants to produce energy and maintain cellular function, their cells undergo the highly intricate process of photosynthesis. Critical in this process is the stoma. Stomata (multiple stoma) are located on the outermost cellular layer of leaves, stems, and other plant parts. An open stoma facilitates the process of photosynthesis in three ways. First, it allows light to enter the intercellular matter and trigger the process. Second, it allows for the uptake of carbon dioxide, a key chemical in producing plant energy. Third, it allows for oxygen to be expelled into the outside environment, a byproduct of photosynthesis that is no longer needed by the cell.
A testable question is a question that can be answered and solved by creating and conducting an experiment. Testable questions are often about changing one item to see what impact it has on another.
Example:
Does changing the height of the ramp affect the speed of the skateboard going down the ramp?
Answer:
The sun is classified as a star.
Explanation:
The sun is a star at the center of the solar system.
The sun is important in the following ways:
- The sun's light has to be present for photosynthesis to occur thereby, it enables food production by plants.
- The sun lights up the earth through its light rays.
- It warms up the sea.
- It provides heat for heating up the earth leading to production of water vapor that rises to form clouds.
- The sun also provides vitamin D that is essential to living organisms health.
