Stomate and Guard Cells: Two guard cells surround the stomate cell wall thickened along stomate border - allows opening and closing of stomate with change in cell volume
Modified leaves Floral leaves (bracts) - brightly colored leaves that surround flowers and add to ability to attract pollinators - e.g. Poinsettias, flowering dogwood Spines - reduce water loss and protect against predators - e.g. cactus Reproductive leaves - leaves that form new plantlets and allow for asexual reproduction - e.g. Kalanchoe (AKA “leaf of life”) Insectivorous leaves - leaves that trap insects in order to digest and extract minerals that are in short supply otherwise - e.g. pitcher plants, Venus flytrap, and sundew

Floral leaves (bracts) - brightly colored leaves that surround<br />
flowers and add to ability to attract pollinators -<br />
e.g. Poinsettias, flowering dogwood<br />
Spines - reduce water loss and protect against predators - e.g. cactus<br />
Reproductive leaves - leaves that form new plantlets and allow for<br />
asexual reproduction - e.g. Kalanchoe (AKA “leaf of life”)<br />
Insectivorous leaves - leaves that<br />
trap insects in order to<br />
digest and extract minerals<br />
that are in short supply<br />
otherwise - e.g. pitcher<br />
