Differentiate between sclerenchymatous and parenchymatous tissues. Draw well labeled diagram.
Parenchyma Sclerenchyma
(1) Cells are thin-walled and unspecialized. (1) Cells are thick-walled and lignified. (2) These are living cells. (2) Tissues are made up of dead cells. (3) Cells are usually loosely packed with large (3) No intercellular spaces between the cells are intercellular space. found.
(4) Stores nutrients and water in the stem and roots. (4) Provides strength to the plant parts.
(5) Some cells contain chlorophyll called chlorenchyma (5)The cells are long and narrow, making the plant and performing photosynthesis. On the other hand and stiff. The tissue present in the stem cells has large air cavities called aerenchyma around vascular bundles, in veins of leaves which provide buoyancy to the hydrophytic plants. hard covering of seeds and nuts.
