• Sclerenchyma tissue has cells that have very thick lignified cell walls and are dead at maturity.
• The primary functions of sclerenchyma are support and protection.
• Some sclerenchyma cells are elongated, while other types are cubical or highly branched.
• Elongated sclerenchyma cells are called fibres and provide strength and support to plant parts. Plants fibres have been used extensively by people to make twine, rope and cloth.
•Collenchyma tissues are mainly found under the epidermis in stems in the large veins of leaves.
• The cells are composed of living, elongated cells running parallel to the length of organs that it is found in (up the side of the stem)
• Collenchyma cells have thick cellulose cell walls which are thickened at the corners.
• Intercellular air spaces are absent or very small.
• The cells contain living protoplasm (cytoplasm and nucleus) and they sometimes contain chloroplasts.
•Cells in parenchyma tissue are thin walled and are often block-shaped.
•Parenchyma cells remain alive at maturity and are abundant in roots, stems, leaves and fruit.
•The primary functions of parenchyma tissue are photosynthesis in leaves and storage of food as starch granules.
•You would expect such tissues to have many chloroplasts and/or amyloplasts

What are the four kinds of fundamental tissues?
sclerenchyma, collenchyma, parenchyma
What are three types of ground tissue?
Parenchyma, Sclerenchyma, Collenchyma.
What are the two general types of plant tissues?
Parenchyma and Sclerenchyma
What are the different cells of a plant?
The three different cells of a plant are parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and collenchyma.
What are the name of similar cells that work together to do one job?
Tissues like parenchyma, sclerenchyma, collenchyma etc.
Where is sclerenchyma most abundant in the stem?
Ground Tissue This region is composed of small, thick-walled sclerenchyma on the inside of the epidermis. These layers of cells are followed by larger thin-walled parenchyma cells.
What are the tissues of plant?
There are four types of plant tissue. Vascular tissue , which is xylem and phloem, and epidermal tissue which is comprised of parenchyma cells. The ground tissue is a combination of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells. And the meristematic tissue is made of parenchyma cells.
Why are tissues present in plants?
Many types of tissues are present in plants such as - Parenchyma, sclerenchyma, chlorenchyma, collenchyma, aerenchyma and complex tissues like xylem and phloem to perform specialized functions. Such as chlorenchya in photosynthesis, sclerenchyma and collenchyma to provide strength and regidity, parenchyma for storage and xylem and phloem for conduction etc.
