Answer 2

${\Huge{Hey}}$

Lenticels are the pores of outer plant tissue that provide a direct exchange of gases between internal plant tissues and the atmosphere. Bark is normally impermeable and the exchange or release of internal gases would be impossible without the plant's lenticels.

Lenticels are also present on fruit and can be used to determine the ripeness of apples, pears, and other fruits. Light lenticels will darken as the fruit reaches the final stages of ripening and this colors the fruit.
