name two types of parenchyma cells that perform definite function. what are these functions?
Answers
Answer:
Chlorenchyma
Chlorenchyma is present in the mesophyll part of the leaves. These parenchymal cells have chloroplast in them. Additionally, these cells are also found in the young plant cortex of the stem of the plant. These cells are loosely packed with multiple intercellular spaces. Chlorenchymal cells provide the green color to the stem and the aerial roots of the plants. These parenchymal cells carry out the function of manufacturing the food by the process of photosynthesis.
2. Aerenchyma
These parenchymal cells are characteristically found in aquatic plants wherein they are involved in providing buoyancy to the plants. These parenchymal cells are loosely packed cells with large intercellular spaces wherein the air cavities or the air pockets are present, which provide the required buoyancy to the plant afloat. The gases (oxygen or carbon dioxide) stored in the aerenchyma can be utilized by the plant also.
