Study Notes
Plant Tissue Types
- Sclerenchyma tissue is composed of dead cells with thick, lignified walls, providing structural support and protection to the plant.
- Chloroplast-containing parenchyma tissue, also known as chlorenchyma, is responsible for photosynthesis, containing the pigment chlorophyll.
- Storage of food occurs in parenchyma tissue, which stores nutrients, water, and waste products.
- Fibers with long, narrow, and pointed apices (tips) are characteristic of sclerenchyma tissue.
- Phloem tissue is located in the vascular region of the plant, responsible for the transportation of sugars and other organic compounds produced by photosynthesis.
