compare parenchyma tissue and schlenchyma tissue

Question

$u$hant · Answer

Parenchyma - 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. 
       whereas,
 Sclerenchyma - in mature parts of the plant, especially in woody plants and herbaceous perennials; specialized; characteristics include: dead at maturity - protoplast is absent very thick, sclerified cell wall (+lignin) impermeable to water and other nutrients in cells specialized for transport of water and nutrients, the cell wall contains holes called pits.Functions include: support ,protection,transport of water and nutrients .
#Specific examples of sclerenchyma cells: fibers - long and slender,sclerids (stone cells) - relatively spherical; the gritty texture of pears is due to the presence of stone cells.
