Select the correct difference between the given types of simple parenchyma tissue.
Parenchyma | Sclerenchyma | |
(i) | Possesses thin cellulosic cell wall | Possesses thick lignified Cell wall |
(ii) | Cell are usually living and isodiametric | Cells are usually dead and without protoplast |
(iii) | Provides mechanical strength to the plant | Performs the function of Storage and secretion |
Parenchyma is simple living permanent tissue,cells are spherical,cylindrical,isodiametric in shape.
Sclerenchyma is a simple mechanical tissue,devoid of protoplast at maturity and becomes dead,cells are thick and lignified
