Question

Plants carry out gas exchange through ___.

• A. Stomata
• B. Lenticels
• C. Mesophyll cells
• D. Vascular system

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

Stomata

B

Lenticels

Lenticels are raised pores found in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues. Stomata are also pores that carry out a similar function. Stomata are found on the underside of leaves. Plants carry out gas exchange through these structures. Whereas Vascular system that involves xylem and phloem help in the transport of water, mineral nutrients, and simple organic molecules from one part of the plant to another. Mesophyll cells are found in leaves and are specialized for photosynthesis. These cells contain many chloroplasts, the organelles that perform photosynthesis.
