Question

characteristics of schrenchyma​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sclerenchyma cells have thick, lignified secondary walls, lack cell contents at maturity, and occur throughout all plant tissues. These features make sclerenchyma tissues hard, rigid, and somewhat brittle. Sclerenchyma cells can occur as aggregates within ground tissue (sclereids or stone cells or as elongated fibers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Sclerenchyma

• Sclerenchyma is a type of plant tissue.

• The sclerenchyma tissue consists of cells which are dead.

• They are rigid tissues.

• The presence of lignin is the reason behind the rigidity of these tissues.

• These cells are narrow and long.

• Sclerenchymatic cells lack protoplasm.

• They are cemented by lignin , so they have very little intermolecular space between them.

Functions

• The main function of sclerenchyma is to provide mechanical support to the plant.

• It allows the plant to resist external problem  like wind.

Locations

• Cortex of leaves
• Seed coats
• Cortex of stem
