Question

Parenchyma cells in the spongy mesophyll exhibit large intercellular spaces promoting:

• A. To provide nutrients for the future germinating embryo
• B. Greater exposure for gaseous exchange
• C. To distribute pressure evenly through the structure
• D. No specific reason

Answer 1

The correct option is B Greater exposure for gaseous exchange

The most prevalent live plant tissue is parenchyma. They have a larger number of intracellular gaps, thin cell walls, and big vacuoles. The storage of food and water is the primary function of the parenchyma cells of the roots and stem. Gaseous exchange is aided by the intercellular air gaps.
