Question

Identify the tissue from the following options with these characters:

• A. Sclerenchyma
• B. Collenchyma
• C. Parenchyma
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sclerenchyma

Sclerenchyma:

1. The cells of this tissue are dead.
2. They are long and narrow as the walls are thickened due to lignin (a chemical substance which acts as cement and hardens them).
3. Often these walls are so thick that there is no internal space inside the cell.
4. It is the tissue which makes the plant hard and stiff.
5. We have seen the husk of a coconut.
6. It is made of sclerenchymatous tissue.
