Differentiate chlorenchyma and aerenchyma tissues

Open in App

Solution

Aerenchyma tissue - Aerenchyma cells help to give buoyancy to the aquatic plants to help them float.
Chlorenchyma tissue - Chlorenchyma cells contain chlorophyll that helps to perform photosynthesis
Aerenchyma Chlorenchyma
1.It is a type of parenchyma tissue that consists of air and is mainly found in many aquatic plants. 1. It is a type of parenchyma tissue that consists of chloroplast and is photosynthetic in nature.
2. Occurs in the stem and leaves of aquatic plants. 2. It primarily occurs in the mesophyll of all green leaves.
3. Contains large air spaces. 3. Contains chloroplasts.
4. Provides buoyancy and to help aquatic plants to float. 4. Undergoes photosynthesis.
