Question

State the function of chlorenchyma?

Answer 1

Chloroplasts:

1. Chloroplasts include parenchymal cells containing chloroplasts. Thus, Chlorenchyma works by facilitating photosynthesis.
2. During the synthesis of these cells, carbohydrates, including Palisade cells, are most abundantly distributed in the plant.
3. They provide structural support to plants. Parenchymal cells are thin-walled, enlarged cells that have a small amount of cytoplasm and lack very large vacuoles.
4. Chlorenchyma cells are usually arranged in columns and are the main photosynthetic cells of maxillary leaves.
5. Chlorenchyma cells are abundant in the mesoderm of leaves. They may also be present in the young stems of some plants.
6. Chlorenchyma cells promote photosynthesis.
