a b) aerenchyma c) collenchyma​

Answer 1

Characteristics of chlorenchyma

• These cells are isodiametric and elongated.
• Cell walls are unevenly thickened at the corners due to the deposition of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin.
• These often contain chloroplasts.
• Intercellular spaces are absent.
• It provides mechanical support to the growing parts of the plant.

Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root.
