Chlorenchyma cells are a subtype of parenchyma cells specializing in photosynthesis. They are generally small, living when functional, and can take on varying shapes.
The type of cells that do not undergo mitosis are mature nerve cells and muscle cells.
The type of cells that do not undergo mitosis are the cells in the human body that are considered to be terminally differentiated, such as nerve cells and muscle cells. These cells have exited the cell cycle and do not divide further.
Surfactant is produced by the type II alveolar cells in the lungs. These cells secrete surfactant which helps lower surface tension in the alveoli, preventing collapse and facilitating gas exchange.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sex cells, specifically in sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
The largest type of animal cells are the egg cells, also known as ova or oocytes. These cells are necessary for sexual reproduction and can be several hundred times larger in size compared to typical somatic cells.
Mesophyll cells are often called chlorenchyma because they are specialized plant cells responsible for photosynthesis. These cells contain numerous chloroplasts, giving them a green color due to the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorenchyma is important for capturing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy for the plant.

Difference between collenchyma and chlorenchyma
Place in plants where chloroplast is found is a permanent tissue called chlorenchyma which is a type of parenchymatous tissue.
Chrolenchyma 1) In leaves and tender stems, parenchyma cells may contain chloroplast and in such case a parenchyma is called chlorenchyma. Aerenchyma 1) In aquatic plants, fairly large air cavities are present between the parenchyma cells; such a parenchyma is called aerenchyma.
The chloroplasts in leaves are surrounded by a double membrane called the chloroplast envelope. Xylem and phloem in leaves are surrounded by a layer of parenchyma cells, which provide support and protection to these vascular tissues.
Parenchyma cells primarily serve two key functions: they are involved in the storage of nutrients and the production of photosynthesis in plants. These versatile cells can store starch, oils, and water, acting as a reservoir for various substances. Additionally, in green plant tissues, chlorenchyma, a type of parenchyma, contains chloroplasts that facilitate photosynthesis. Their structural flexibility also allows for wound healing and tissue repair.
The type of plant tissue involved in physiological processes like photosynthesis, storage, and support is called parenchyma. Parenchyma cells are versatile and can perform various functions, including photosynthesis in chlorenchyma (a specialized form of parenchyma), storage of nutrients and water, and providing structural support. They are typically living cells with thin walls and can be found in many parts of the plant, including leaves, stems, and roots.

Chlorenchymatous tissues are specialized plant tissues that contain chloroplasts, allowing them to perform photosynthesis. These tissues are typically found in the leaves and green stems of plants, where they contribute to the production of energy by converting sunlight into chemical energy. Chlorenchyma is a type of parenchyma tissue, characterized by its thin-walled cells, which are flexible and capable of storing nutrients and water as well.
