|
Answer» te The main difference between chlorenchyma and aerenchyma is that chlorenchyma is a form of PARENCHYMA, containing CHLOROPLASTS, but aerenchyma is another form of parenchyma, containing large air spaces. Furthermore, chlorenchyma MAINLY occurs in the mesophyll of leaves of all green plants, but aerenchyma occurs in the stems and leaves of aquatic plants. Moreover, the main function of chlorenchyma is to UNDERGO photosynthesis, but the main function of aerenchyma is to provide buoyancy and to help aquatic plants to float. |
