WHAT ARE COLLENCHYMA CELL?

Humans and animals have bones to provide support and structure. While plants don't have bones, they do contain a variety of structural cells that have different compositions and functions. In this lesson, we'll be taking a look at collenchyma cells, which help plants stay standing.
Collenchyma cells are elongated cells with irregularly thick cell walls that provide support and structure. Their thick cell walls are composed of the compounds cellulose and pectin. These cells are often found under the epidermis, or the outer layer of cells in young stems and in leaf veins
Collenchyma cells provide structural support, protecting the plant by serving as an inner framework, much like bones do for humans and other animals. Plants are exposed to numerous structural challenges and without these cells, most plants would be too fragile to withstand the damage caused by heavy rains, high winds, and other stresses.
The thickened walls of the collenchyma cells enable them to provide additional support to the areas where they are found. Most notably, collenchyma cells serve growing parts of the plant, such as shoots and leaves, both by providing support and by filling in vacant spaces that will be used for later growth.

➧ Types 0f Simple Permanent Tissues are:-▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⤵

❶❭ Parenchyma:-┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅☟

● The unspecialised living plant tissue formed of thin walled rounded cell.

● This cell are isodiametric & least specialised.

● It is considered at the fundamental tissue or ground tissue.

➧ It's Characteristics are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ Cells are living cells with thin cell wall of cellulose.

❱ They are rounded, oval or polygonal in shape with intercellular spaces.

❱ Cytoplasm is dense with one large or more than one small vehicles.

➧ It's Functions are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ It form the ground tissue or packing tissue in plants.

❱ It provide rigidity to the plant by keeping cell rigid.

❱ It's cell store food.

❱ It helps in wound healing, regeneration & grafting.

❱ It cells are allow to exchange of respiratory gases.

❷❭ Collenchyma:- ┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅☟

● It is found in steam leaf, leaf stalk & leave midribs of dicot herbaceous plant.

● It forms a layer below the epidermis called hypodermis.

● It is absent in monocot stem.

➧ It's Characteristics are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ Cells are living unfairly elongated.

❱ They appear polygonal, 0val or circular in cross-section.

❱ Cells surrounded by thik primary cell wall alone.

❱ The cell wall is thickened along the corner due to the deposition of cellulose & pectin.

❱ The cytoplasm has a large central vacuole.

➧ It's Functions are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ It provide mechanical support to the delicate developing organs of herbaceous Dicot stem.

❱ It cells combine both tensile strength & flexibility.

❱ It cells with chloroplast carrying out photosynthesis.

❱ This cell also store food & allow growth & elongation of 0rgan.

❸❭ Scelerenchyma :- ┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅┅┉┅☟

● It is a hard supporting tissue formed of long, narrow & pointed ends.

● It occurs in root stem, leaves & petiole.

● These cells are dead with thick lignified walls that gradually lose Protoplasm.

➧ It's Characteristics are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ These are dead cell without nucleus & cytoplasm.

❱ Their cell wall is formed of cellulose & hemi-cellulose.

❱ It is thickened due to the secondary the position of Lignin.

❱ Lignin act as a cement & hardens the cell wall.

❱ The lignified cell wall has pits.

➧ It's Functions are:-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☟

❱ It provide most of the support in a plant.

❱ To compressive & tensile stresses in plants.

❱ It allows the organs to withstand bending, shearing & compression.

❱ It's cells provide protective, vascular & supportive functions.
