Question

Functions of parenchyma,collenchyma, sclerenchyma​

Answer 1

Answer:

The function of parenchyma cells is in the storage of foods, in gaseous exchange, and in photosynthesis, while 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 2

Answer:

Functions of parenchyma

• The main function of parenchyma is to store and assimilate food. Hence, they are referred to as food storage tissues.
• Serves as a packing tissue to fill the spaces between other tissues and maintain the shape and firmness of the plant.
• Stores waste products of plants.

Functions of collenchyma

• A mechanical tissue and provides mechanical support and elasticity to the stems of dicot plants.
• Cells possess chloroplast, then it is involved in manufacturing sugar and starch.
• Provides tensile strength and flexibility to the plant body.

Function of sclerenchyma

• Provides mechanical strength to the plant.
• Makes the plant body rigid, flexible, and elastic
