Lenticels are found on the stem or trunk of plants (very evident in things like cherry trees). In short, lenticels are a type of pore. They serve as a site of gas exchange on the plant (place where oxygen and carbon dioxide can enter and exit). Lenticels are also, unfortunately, a site where pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses can enter the plant.
Lenticels work separately from the stomates and are primarily found on woody plants.

∙ 11y agoLenticels are important because they allow oxygen to penetrate across all layers of the bark. This aids in respiration in sapwood(the outer, light colored layer), the vascular cambium and inner bark.

Why do most plants have many stomata than lenticels?
Stomata are present in leaves where CO2 is required for photosythesis and lenticels are pesent on woody parts of the plant to provide perforation. SINCE THE REQUIREMENT OF CO2 is more in the leafy areas, there are many stomata than the lenticels.
What is lenticular transpiration?
lenticels are fine pores present on the older parts of the plants. They are present in the bark of old stems and pericarps of woody fruits. They are made up of loosely arranged cells. About 0.1 to 1 % of water loss in the form of water vapour occurs through lenticels and is called lenticular transpiration.
What special structures on some stems allow gases to pass through them?
Lenticels allow gases to pass through them. Hope this helped. Gigi
How exchange of gases takes place in plants cell?
exchange of gases respiration and photosynthesis takes place through stem of the plant, the stem is green enough to carry the property of leaves, as in normal plants.. while exchange of gases in huge tree trunks takes place through lenticels, which are present in barks of the trunks... exchange of gases-respiration and photosynthesis- takes place through stem of the plant, the stem is green enough to carry the property of leaves, as in normal plants.. while exchange of gases in huge tree trunks takes place through lenticels, which are present in barks of the trunks...
Which organ the plant take breathe?
Birds also have lungs but each lung also has two air sacs. Each lung has a posterios and anterior airsac. The air flows through the lung into the posterior air sac where it is stored. The air then moves through thr lung from the posterior air sac and enters the anterior sac. The used air is then exhaled.

What are small openings on leaves?
lenticels or may be spores....
Special openings that develop on older stem in place of stomata?
it is lenticels
What is cellesitn unscrambled?
The letters 'cellesitn' unscrambled spell the word lenticels.
Tiny openings in loosely organized groups of cork cells through which gas exchange occurs?

What is the difference between stomata and lenticels?
Stoma are present on the lower surface of leaf.They are involved in gaseous exchange,tranpiration,removal of extra water and waste.Lenticals are present on the outer layer of woody or hard stem.They are used for removal of waste.
When lenticular transpiration takes place?
Lenticular transpiration takes place day and night. There is no mechanism to stop it. It generally takes place in woody stems and fruits, where lenticels are present. Its intensity increase when the plant is defoliated.Lenticular transpiration takes place day and night. There is no mechanism to stop it.

What plays a role in gas exchange?
haemoglobin present in the RBC helps in gaseous exchange and transport in humans .. where as in plants its through stomata , cuticle , lenticels etc....
