Step-by-step explanation:

Gaseous exchange in plants is achieved by stomata and lenticels. The epidermis has tiny pores called stomata (singular, stoma) that control transpiration and gas exchange with the air. During the day when photosynthesis occurs, the oxygen released from the process is utilized for respiration
