Question

The sclerenchyma tissues have thickened cell walls.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Sclerenchyma are elongated dead cells with lignin deposits on their cell wall. They have no intercellular gaps and are closely packed. They are found in the covering of seeds and nuts, around the vascular tissues in stems and the veins of leaves. Sclerenchyma provides structural strength to the plant.
