Question

Do Lenticels help in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Lenticels:

Lenticels are microscopic pores that allow gases to pass between the environment and the organs located on the periderm or bark of the woody trees.

Photosynthesis:

Green plants and certain other species convert light energy into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis.

1. Lenticels do not aid photosynthesis.
2. They allow oxygen to enter while also allowing carbon dioxide and water vapor to exit.
3. Lenticels account for up to $21\%$ of transpiration in apple fruit.

Final answer: Lenticels do not support photosynthesis.
