Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma cells and tissues

Describe collenchyma cells

-Elongated cells with a double cell wall that form long stringy tissues. -The outer cell wall is rectangular and inner cell wall is rounded, providing great strength on the corners. Think celery, rhubarb, etc

Describe collenchyma tissue

-Simple tissue that is flexible and provides support in soft non -woody plant organs and support for the plant body. -This tissue is not found evenly throughout the plant body. Occurs as long strands near stem surfaces and along leaf veins.

Describe parenchyma tissue

-The most common type of tissue found throughout the plant body. -It is a simple tissue that makes up the soft and edible parts of the plant such as apples, beets and potatoes.

Cells that are cube- shaped with a double cell wall

Sclerenchyma

______ ce1ls are cube-shaped with a double -cell wall. They provide strength and support. Think fruit skins or tree bark

Sclerenchyma

Strong and hard simple tissue that provides structural support and is dead at functional maturity

Sclerenchyma Tissue

Elongated cells with a double cell wall that form long stringy tissues.

collenchyma tissue

Because of their functions, ______ cells are living, metabolizing cells.

parenchyma

Cells that are sphere shaped, with a single cell wall.

parenchyma

________ cells may secrete, resins, tannins, hormones, enzymes and nectar.

parenchyma

__________ cells contain a chloroplast only if they function in photosynthesis.

parenchyma

__________ cells store tore starches, oils, water and salts.

parenchyma

___________ cells are .sphere shaped, with a single cell wall.

parenchyma

parenchyma tissue

Describe parenchyma cells

• Sphere shaped, with a single cell wall. • Very soft and spongy. • Make up soft tissues of the plant. • Store starches, oils, water and salts. • Contain a chloroplast only if they function in photosynthesis. • May secrete, resins, tannins, hormones, enzymes and nectar. • Because of their functions, they are living, metabolizing cells.
