Does the collenchyma tissue contain cells that posses protoplasm?

Yes, the collenchyma tissues does contain the cells that possess protoplasm.


Is collenchyma a dead or living tissue?

Collenchyma is a type of living tissue found in plants. It consists of living cells that provide flexible support, particularly in young stems and leaf petioles. Unlike sclerenchyma, which is composed of dead cells, collenchyma cells retain their protoplasts and continue to function in growth and support. This characteristic allows collenchyma to adapt to the growth of the plant while maintaining structural integrity.


Why doesn't the roots conatins collenchyma cells?

Collenchyma cells are found in the shoot system of plants and provide structural support. In contrast, roots are specialized for anchorage and absorption of water and nutrients, so they do not require the same type of structural support provided by collenchyma cells. Roots have other cell types, such as parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and xylem cells, that fulfill their specific functions.


What is tissue made up of elongated cells with unevenly thickened flexible walls called?

The tissue you are referring to is known as collenchyma. Collenchyma cells provide support to growing plant parts and have thickened cell walls that are not uniformly distributed, giving them flexibility.


Where the collenchyma cell found?

Collenchyma cells are the plant cell which are located in the growing tip of shoots and roots and are also found in expanded leaves, petioles and the stem apex.

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.
