Explain the functions of parencyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma
Answers
Answer:
The function of parenchyma cells is in the storage of foods, in gaseous exchange, and in photosynthesis.
Collenchyma cells provide mechanical support and elasticity to the plant.
the sclerenchyma cells provides mechanical support to the plant. It also supports transportation of water and nutrients to the plants.
Answer:
Parenchyma:
1.Tissue first time evolved in bryophyte.
2.Thin walled cells, oval or spherical in structure.
3.Cell wall mainly composed of cellulose & pectin.
Collenchyma :
1.: It is the living mechanical tissue.
2.Elongated cells with thick corners.
3.Localized cellulose & pectin thickening.
Sclerenchyma :
1.Composed of extremely thick walled cells with little or no protoplasm.
2.Cells are dead & possess very thick lignified walls.
3.Intercellular spaces are absent.
