Collenchyma's cell walls are very thick by pectic substances.
They are shaped like hexagons.
They have a large vacuole in the center.
When the cells die they become sclerenchyma.
Then the vacuole becomes an empty thing called a lumen & the cell wall becomes lignified.
It's found in plant stems, leaves & flowers.

What includes parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
Collenchyma tissue composed of polygonal cells includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
The stiffness of paddy straw is due to?
because of collenchyma.
What is the function of collenchyma?
Collenchyma cells have strong, flexible cell walls the help support larger plants. Collenchyma cells make up the familiar "strings" of a stalk of celery.Collenchyma cells help support young parts of the plant shoot. They provide flexible support without restraining growth and they elongate the stems and leaves they support.
Function of the collenchyma?
(i) Collenchyma is mainly a mechanical tissue and provides mechanical strength and elasticity to the growing stems. As a result, the stems can stand bending or swaying by wind or passing animals. (ii) Collenchyma is also the supporting tissue of the leaves.
What is the long cells with unevenly thickened cell walls this type of cell wall allows the cells to grow?
Collenchyma
What includes parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma?

What is the difference between 'collenchyma' and 'chlorenchyma'?
Difference between collenchyma and chlorenchyma
What gives collenchyma cella energy?
Collenchyma cells get energy from vascular tissues.
Does the collenchyma cell conduct respiration?
Collenchyma is dead at maturity.So they do not respire after matured.
Why are tissues present in plants?
Many types of tissues are present in plants such as - Parenchyma, sclerenchyma, chlorenchyma, collenchyma, aerenchyma and complex tissues like xylem and phloem to perform specialized functions. Such as chlorenchya in photosynthesis, sclerenchyma and collenchyma to provide strength and regidity, parenchyma for storage and xylem and phloem for conduction etc.
What three functions does ground tissue perform?
Ground tissue in plants is simply the tissue that isn't vascular or dermal. It can be divided into three categories: Parenchyma, which aids in photosynthesis and food storage, collenchyma, supporting young stems and roots, and sclerenchyma, providing more rigid support.
Does the collenchyma tissue contain cells that posses protoplasm?
Yes, the collenchyma tissues does contain the cells that possess protoplasm.
