Answer 1

ANSWER
Lenticels are formed in bark, which are AeratiMade up of xylem

Answer 2

The correct answer will be Lenticels are formed in bark, which is A). Aerating pores.

• Lenticels could be described as tissues with large aerating pores. They are formed in the bark of plants.
• Lenticels occur in the dicot stems and are formed in the region around the stomata.
• Their major function is in the participation of gaseous exchange that takes place within various tissues.

Other Options:

• B). Made up of phloem: The tissues of lenticels have an intercellular gap in the area of the periderm, therefore they are not made up of phloem.
• C). Made up of xylem: The lenticel tissues are highly porous and therefore are not made up of xylem.
• D). Found in monocot plants: The lenticels are found in the plants with the dicot root system.

Hence, the correct option will be Lenticels formed in bark, which are A). Aerating pores.
