1 A day care is a business, and as a business owner you'll be in charge of employee management, bookkeeping, marketing, and other responsibilities that come with running a small business in addition to providing childcare.
Guard cells, chloroplast-containing cells scattered throughout the epidermal layers regulate the opening and closing of the stoma. Periderm tissue forms the outer bark of woody plants and will be discussed later. Observe the prepared slide of a leaf epidermis and compare with the micrograph below.
The dermal layer consists of two parts. The epidermis is a one-cell thick, skinlike tissue that covers the entire plant. In woody plants, this tissue is stiffer and more corky. The epidermis secretes a waxy substance that coats the outside of the leaf, the cuticle. Tiny openings, called stomata, dot the surface of the leaf. The stomata open and close to release water and gasses from the plant.
