→ How does Respiration occur in the stem of a plant ???
Answers
Answer:
Respiration in Stems
In the plants taking herbaceous stem exchange of gases occurs through stomata and the carbon dioxide CO2 formed during the process that gets diffused into the air with the help of stomata only. While in the plants having hard and woody stems the exchange of gases occurs through lenticels.
Explanation:
HEY MATE .....
➡️THE STEMS OF HERBACEOUS PLANTS HAVE STOMATA .
➡️THE OXYGEN FROM AIR DIFFUSERS INTO THE STEM OF A HERBACEOUS PLANT THROUGH STOMATA AND REACHES ALL THE CELLS FOR RESPIRATION .
➡️THE CARBON DIOXIDE GAS PRODUCED DURING RESPIRATION DIFFUSES OUT INTO THE AIR THROUGH THE SAME STOMATA.
➡️ IN WOODY STEMS THE BARK (OUTER COVERING OF STEM) HAS LENTICELS FOR GASEOUS EXCHANGE .
➡️THE OXYGEN FROM AIR DIFFUSERS INTO THE STEM OF A WOODY PLANTS THROUGH LENTICELS AND REACHES ALL THE INNER SURFACE OF THE STEM FOR RESPIRATION .
➡️THE CARBON DIOXIDE GAS PRODUCED IN THE CELL OF THE STEM DURING RESPIRATION DIFFUSE OUT INTO THE AIR THROUGH THE SAME THE LENTICELS .
