Question

A plant tissue cells are elongated and thickened with cellulose strips at the corners.

a. Name the tissue having these features.

b. How is it involved in storing starch?

c. How does it help young stems and leaves to bend without breaking?​

Answer 1

Answer: Collenchyma is the tissue with cellulose strips at the corner. ... Collenchyma is made of up cellulose and pectin, starch are stored as cellulose in collenchyma. It prevents breakage of young stem by given strength, especially in growing shoots and leaves due to its thickened corners

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Collenchyma : Mechanical Tissue

a. Collenchyma

b. They contain chloroplast, thus takes part in assimilation and storage of starch.

c. They have deposition of mechanical tissues like cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Thus provide mechanical support to the growing parts like young stems, petiole of leaf by allowing it to bend in air current by providing flexibility.
