Main function of lenticel is:
Correct answer: C. Gaseous exchange
- A. Transpiration
- B. Guttation
- C. Gaseous exchange
- D. Bleeding
Explanation
Lenticels generally appear under stomata. The lenticel of phellogen itself also has intercellular spaces. Because of this relatively open arangement of cells, the lenticels are regarded as structures permitting the entry of air through the periderm. Lenticels are characterstics of woody stem but they are also found in roots of trees and other perennials for entry of oxygen through them. So option C is correct.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.

Potometer works on the principle of:
Two cells A and B are contiguous. Cell A has an osmotic pressure of 10 atm, turgor pressure of 7 atm, and diffusion pressure deficit of 3 atm. Cell B has an osmotic pressure of 8 atm, turgor pressure of 3 atm, and diffusion pressure deficit of 5 atm. The result will be:
