Question

differentiate between parenchyma and sclerenchyma
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Complete answer:

Parenchyma: Sclerenchyma:

The cells are thin walled and unspecialized The cells are thick walled and lined.

They are living cells. The tissues are made of dead cells.

Cells are usually loosely packed with large intercellular spaces. There are no intercellular spaces between the cells.

Stores nutrients and water in stems and roots Provides strength to the parts of the plant.

Some cells contain chlorophyll called chlorenchyma and perform photosynthesis. Other cells have large air cavities, called aerenchyma, which provide buoyancy to hydrophytic plants. The cells are long and narrow, making the plant hard and stiff. The tissue is present in the stem

Answer 2

Answer:

What is the difference between sclerenchyma and parenchyma tissues?

A) Parenchyma- Cells are thin walled and unspecialised, Sclerenchyma- Cells are thick walled and lignified
