Differentiate between Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma on the basis of structure.
Answers
Explanation:
Parenchyma
Consist of live unspecialized cells having thin cell wall.They are loosely packed and have large intercellular space (space between the cells).Provides support to the plant and present in all parts like roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds.

Fruits) and water (in stems eg. cactus) is the main function.

Collenchyma
The cells of the tissue are living, elongated, and have irregularly thickened corners.The term was coined by Schleiden.It provides flexibility and mechanical support to the plants.
Sclerenchyma
The tissues are dead which makes the plant hard and stiff (eg. Husk of coconut).
