From what part of the plant (stem or leaves) do the bubbles emerge?

Freshly cut elodea floating in water produce the most observable bubbles. As photosynthesis occurs, elodea plants pass the produced oxygen from leaves to stem. Some oxygen escapes from the leaves to form oxygen bubbles in the water but the majority escapes from the stem as a result of larger intracellular air spaces. Hope I’ve helped ;)
