Question

Long plants are able to stand erect due to presence of

• A. Sclerenchyma
• B. Collenchyma
• C. Parenchyma
• D. Prosenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sclerenchyma

Since plants do not have bones for structure and support they must have cell walls around all of their cells. This leads to the need for very unique cells in plants. Sclerenchyma cells are specialized plant cells that exist to provide strength and support. They are present in all kinds of plants including grasses, trees, and flowering plants.

So, the correct answer is 'Sclerenchyma.'
