Question

Why intercellular spacer are absent between the cells of collenchyma?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathtt{\color{magenta}{✤ ANSWER ✤ }}}$

Intercellular spaces are absent in sclerenchymatous tissues because they have a cementing substance (known as lignin) around their cell membrane which makes them stiff and hard.

More to know :-

• Collenchyma tissue is composed by elongated living cells of uneven primary thick walls, which possess hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectic materials.
• provides support, structure, mechanical strength, and flexibility to the petiole, leaf veins, and stem of young plants, allowing for easy bending without breakage.

Why intercellular spacer are absent between the cells of collenchyma?

Answer ⤵

In collenchyma, the walls are thickened at the corners due to deposition of cellulose and pectin. Thus, the intercellular spaces are absent in between the cells.
