1. List any 6 characteristics of parenchyma tissue.

Parenchyma

The structure of these cells is roughly spherical, through some may be elongated.

The main function of parenchyma is to act as a packing tissue, it provides support in herbaceous plants.

These cells are metabolically active and are the sites for many of the vital activity of the plant body.

The air spaces between the cells of these tissue allow gaseous exchange to take place between the living cell and the environment.

Parenchyma is distributed in Cortex, pith, medullary rays in wood and as packing tissue in xylem and phloem.

they have a thin cell wall, dence cytoplasm, n a single large vacuole

they r living cells and may not have spaces in between the cells

store food materials provides support to delicate organs of plants

parenchyma containing chloroplasts in known as chlorenchyma and helps in photosynthesis

parenchyma containing large air spaces in known as aerenchyma which provides buoyancy in aquatic plants

 Parenchyma Tissues

 

These are isodiametric and thin-walled. The cells may be oval, circular or polygonal with intercellular space. They are living. These tissues are present in all organs of the plants.

Functions:

1. These tissues are mainly concerned in storage of food.

2. In fleshy stem, they act as water storage tissues.

3. In hydrophytes large air cavities are formed in-between these tissues. These types of tissues are called aerenchyma.

4. In leaf, these tissues contain chloroplasts and help in photosynthesis and are called collenchyma.

5. Sometimes these tissues become meristamic and form cork cambium and cambium in root. Thus, they help in secondary growth.

 Most abundant cell type in plants (e.g. cells making up the fundamental ground tissues; usually unspecialized; characteristics include: 
living at maturity with a very thin cell wall 
large vacuole for storage and sequestering of materials 
large amount of intracellular space 
spherical 
relatively regular shape 
very elastic (can change shape and then return to original shape with little deformation) 

Functions of parenchyma cells include: 
photosynthesis 
storage 
secretion

  1. parenchyma are most simple and unprimitive tissue.
  2. cells are isodiametric,oval,cylindrical in shape.
  3. each cell has large central vacuole.
  4. the cell are losely arranged with inter cellular spaces.
  5. they are present in various plant organs like root,stem etc.
  6. they are also find in xylem and ploem.

*They are cells with thin wall made of cellulose. 

*They elongated cells with large central vacuole.

*They also have intercellular spaces between them.

*They forms the ground tissue of central cortex and pith of stems and roots.

*In leaves they have chlorophyll present and they are called chlorenchyma.They help in photosynthesis.

*In aquatic plants they large air cavaties which help them in buoyancy (the ability to float) and they are called aerenchyma.

*In fruits and vegetables they are full with starch.

4 point.. it is chlorenchyma
  • 1
  • Thin primary cell wall
  • Alive at maturity
  • Retain the capacity to divide

    i have ask characteristics of parenchyma but it is telling me functions of parenchyma  so this is not helpful
