explain the types of parenchyma tissues with their function
Answers
Explanation:
- Aerenchyma
- storage parenchyma
- stellate parenchyma
- chlorenchyma
- prosenchyma
aerenchyma:
parenchyma which contain air in intercellular spaces.It helps in aeration and buoyancy.
storage parenchyma:
parenchyma stores food materials
stellate parenchyma:
star shaped parenchyma.
chlorenchyma:
parenchyma cell with chlorophyll.
prosenchyma:
peranchyma cell become elongated,pointed and slightly thick walled .It gives mechanical support.
Answer:
Types of parenchyma tissues and their functions
Sclerenchyma
Sclerenchyma cells are strong, thick cells that provide most of the support in a plant. They are known to have extremely thick cell walls and do not participate in many of the other activities of the developing plant, such as photosynthesis, because their focus is strictly on support and structure.
Chlorenchyma
Chlorenchyma is a type of parenchyma cells which contains chloroplast. People may confuse between chlorenchyma and collenchyma ,but both are different. It consists of chloroplast,this helps in photoynthesis. It helps in manufacturing of starch which is stored for the future use of plant.
Aerenchyma
Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root.
