Question

Name the chemicals present in the cell parenchyma, Chlorenchyma and Sclerenchyma

Answer 1

The plant body plan is quite simple, encompassing four organs (leaf, stem, root, flower), three basic tissue types (epidermal, vascular and ground), and three cell types (parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma). Parenchyma cells are living cells, bound by a primary cell wall, and many of them are capable of differentiation into any other cell type. Parenchyma is the most diverse and versatile cell type and comprises the majority of cells in most plants. Collenchyma cells are the least common plant cell type. They have a primary cell wall and provide support in herbaceous or temporary organs such as petioles and leaves. Sclerenchyma cells have a lignified and strong secondary cell wall and are usually dead at maturity. Sclerenchyma cells are found wherever a plant needs strength and support, such as fibers, stone cells, wood, and water-conducting cells.
