In woody stems gaseous exchange takes place through
ALenticels in the bark
BStomata of mature wood
CHydathodes of the inner cortex
DSieve tubes inside the phloem
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Lenticels in the bark
1. The chapter notes that mature woody stems have a thick bark.
2. The bark contains small loose-tissue openings called lenticels.
3. These permit gas exchange between bark cells and the air.
