Flashcards

Parenchyma

A type of simple permanent tissue with thin-walled, oval, and elongated cells. These cells have spaces between them. They are found in the soft parts of the plant.

Parenchyma: Function

These cells are responsible for storing food and water. They also participate in photosynthesis in leaves and green stems.

Aerenchyma

In floating plants, parenchyma cells have air spaces called aerenchyma, which aid in buoyancy.

Collenchyma

A type of simple permanent tissue characterized by cells with thick cell walls, containing carbohydrates like cellulose and pectin.
