Question

Characterstics of Sclerenchyma

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:

The characteristics of sclerenchyma are:

• This tissue consists of dead cells.

• They are long, narrow and the cell walls are thickened due to the presence of lignin in it.

• Lignin acts as a cement to make the hard cell wall.

• There is very less space inside the cell due to the thick walls of the cells.
