Question

Differentiate between the following terms :

(b) Collenchyma and sclerenchyma (based on function)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Collenchyma cells consist of unevenly thick cell walls. They contain vacuolated protoplasts and are absent in monocots.

Sclerenchyma cells are dead cells at their maturity, containing the thickest cell walls.

They are specialized cells found in mature parts of the plant body.
