help!!!
can someone please tell me
how to find the energy content of foods?
and how to demonstrate the presence of stomata in a leaf?
also what is lymph and lymphatic system?

Holes,smearsorfilterpaperdiscsonculturedishes; [or a group of separate dishes]
dilutions mentioned ; R: volumes
clear areas measured/observed ;
how results assessed ;
replication ;
control qualified ;

Just give an experiment or make a diagram and explain use six or seven petri dishes in one dont add any penicillin and make it a control in the rest add increasing conc of penicillin using a dropper or a suitable apparatus and then keep all in the same temp.,same conditions as well ,make sure dishes are sterile and equal bacteria was grown on them when u add the penicillin strain,keep the dishes and then at a particular time like one day compare with control and make sure u give all dishes equal time period ! The dish which has killed bacteria only slightly and bacteria still is there but has been removed from some regions is the conc u are looking for record the results :D
Replication might help as well !

1) Use different samples of food and ignite them under a test tube containing water with a thermometer(at least 1/3rd immered). use the method for each food sample, like separately for carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Record the temperature increase in each test tube by burning the food sample. The highest temperature difference indicates highest energy content. This will be of fats.
2) stomata are minute openings (pores) on the underside of the leaf. Their presence can be demonstrated simply by immersing a leaf in water. Bubbles will come out of the lower surface of the leaf showing that there are pores.
3) Tissue fluid forms at the arterial (coming from the heart) end of capillaries because of the higher pressure of blood compared to veins, and most of it returns to its venous ends and venules; the rest (1%) enters the lymph capillaries as lymph. Thus, lymph when formed is a watery clear liquid with the same composition as the tissue fluid. However, as it flows through the lymph nodes it comes in contact with blood, and tends to accumulate more cells (particularly, lymphocytes) and proteins. Lymphatic system is just that it is in continuous circulation as it takes in tissue fluid and returns it to the blood.

X is the anther
Y is the stigma (only one stigma is present surrounded by three-four pistils which have X on top of them)
Z is the long tube in the carpel-i.e the style.

You might be confused in stigma and anther, actually the 2 in between are the stigmas, and the other 3 are stamens.

It depends what conditions are provided to it it can respire both ways if conditions allow it to but preferably it respires Aerobically in oxygens presence !
In bread making it respires anaerobically because u make it do it and in yoghurt and bread when it feeds if it does it depends on the conditions :D
