Question

Following is the characteristics of Collenchyma.
A) Elongated cells with thickened corner
B) Isodiametric cell with thickened wall
C) Elongated cells with deposits of cellulose and pectin
D) Isodiametric cells with deposits of cellulose and pectin

Answer 1

Option (b) is the correct answer
Isodiametric cells with thickened wall

Answer 2

The characteristics of collenchyma are Isodiametric cells with thickened walls.

Characteristics of Collenchyma are:

• Isodiametric cell with the thickened wall.
• It provides mechanical support to the plant.
• It has evenly thick cell walls.
• It is spherical, oval, and polygonal in shape.
• It provides flexibility to the plant.

Hence, the characteristics of collenchyma are Isodiametric cells with thickened walls.
