Question

Arrange the following type of tissues on the basis of intercellular spaces between them in decreasing order:
Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma

• A. Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
• B. Collenchyma, sclerenchyma, parenchyma
• C. Collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchyma
• D. Sclerenchyma, parenchyma, collenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is A Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma

All the tissues mentioned in the question are simple permanent tissues. Parenchyma cells have the maximum intercellular spaces in comparison to others. Collenchyma cells have still lesser intercellular spaces because of deposition of pectin in specific areas on the cells which reduces the intercellular spaces. Sclerenchymatic cells have almost no intercellular spaces and they are very tightly packed due to the deposition of lignin all over their surface.
