Question

In a leaf, dermal tissue ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) releases oxygen into the air

Explanation:

Stomata are the minute openings present in the epidermis of leaves. Plant open stomata to take in carbon dioxide gas from the air which in turn is fixed into organic compounds during the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen gas is the by-product of photosynthesis. Plants release oxygen from stomata into the air. Therefore, dermal tissues in leaves have stomata and one of their functions is to release oxygen into the air.
