Study Notes
Types of Permanent Tissues
- Clarenchyma is a type of permanent tissue found in plants.
- This tissue typically forms the hard tip of plants, such as in the case of coconut husks.
Characteristics of Sclerenchyma
- Composed of dead cells that are long and narrow in shape.
- The cell walls are significantly thickened, providing structural support.
- Sclerenchyma cells have no internal space due to the thickness of the walls.
Location and Function
- Commonly located in stems, around vascular bundles, and in leaf veins.
- Also found in the hard coverings of seeds and nuts.
- Provides strength and rigidity to plants, enabling them to withstand various stresses.
