The gritty stone cells of pears the hard cells of seed coats and plant fibers are examples of?
Sclerenchyma
What includes parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
Collenchyma tissue composed of polygonal cells includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
What is a sclerenchyma cell?
Sclerenchyma cells are the dead cells and they are devoid of protoplasm.The walls of Sclerenchyma are greatly thickened with deposition of lignin. Such cells are called lignified.Due to excessive thickening of the walls of sclerenchyma cell, its cell cavity or lumen is nearly absent.
Which plant cells function in providing support and are dead at maturity?
Sclerenchyma cell
What are three types of tissues in plants?
1) Dermal tissue system which are the epidermis and the dermis of the plant. 2) Vascular tissue system which are the xylem and phloem. 3) Ground tissue system which are used for support and storage in the plants.
3 simple tissues and their location in plants?
Parenchyma Sclerenchyma,Collenchyma. Present on permanent tissues where cessation of growth has occurred.
How does sclerenchyma structure relate to their function of support?
Sclerenchyma have long columns of cells, each cell is thick. The end walls of sclerenchyma are often perforated (contain holes). Xylem and phloem are often surrounded by layers of sclerenchyma
Are there visible nuclei in the sclerenchyma tissue?
The nuclei is not visible in the sclerenchyma tissue at maturity because the cells are usually dead.
The gritty stone cells of pears the hard cells of seed coats and plant fibers are examples of?
Sclerenchyma
What includes parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
Collenchyma tissue composed of polygonal cells includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
What is the main support tissue for monocots?
Sclerenchyma
Why does a stem contain more sclerenchyma and collenchyma than a leaf?
A stem requires more strength and structure, which sclerenchyma and collenchyma provide, than leaves.
What are differences between collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
collenchyma helps in making food and sclerenchyma gives mechanical support to plant body Edited answer: Collenchyma cells are thick at the corners whereas sclerenchyma cells are lignified all around. Both serve as mechanical tissue.
What are the four kind of tissue?
sclerenchyma, collenchyma, parenchyma
What are the kinds of fundamental tissue?

Are the kinds of fundamental tissues?

Where is sclerenchyma present?
it is present in the outer most layer
