Question : Differentiate between Parenchyma and sclerenchyma

Answer»

Solution :Parenchyma is a SIMPLE tissue, the cells of which are usually isodiametric, oval, circular or polygonal with intercellular spaces. They are living cells with RELATIVELY thin primary CELL WALLS. Sclerenchyma is also a simple tissue composed of thick-walled, often LIGNIFIED prosenchymatous cells. The mature sclerenchyma cells differ from parenchyma cells in the presence of lignifiedsecondary walls and the absence of living protoplast.
