| Stomata and Humidity | ||
| An animation shows how water moves in and out of the stomata of a plant leaf, that is, the relationship between the stomata and the humidity in the leaf. ( http://cycas.cornell.edu/ebp/projects/laststraw/ise/anim.3.html ) | ||

| Stomata Opening and Closing in Plant Leaves | ||
| Interact with the animation of the opening and closing of stomata to know how stomata work during the day and the night. ( http://academic.kellogg.edu/herbrandsonc/bio111/water.htm#crosssection ) | ||

| Circadian Responses—Sleep Movements in Plants | ||
| Many plants respond to changes in time with "sleep movements," such as closing their flowers and changing the position of their leaves at night. Watch these short time-lapse movies on Circadian Responses to see examples of sleep movements. ( http://sunflower.bio.indiana.edu/~rhangart/plantmotion/movements/leafmovements/clocks.html ) | ||

| Nastic Response in the Venus Flytrap | ||
| See the dramatic snapping shut of the leaf of a Venus Flytrap when it detects movement on its surface. This movement is known as the nastic response of the Venus Flytrap. ( http://sunflower.bio.indiana.edu/~rhangart/plantmotion/movements/nastic/flytrap/flytrap.h... ) | ||
