NEET Questions / Botany / Anatomy of Flowering Plants / Parenchyma
A specialized parenchyma cell found in the aquatic plants, responsible for buoyancy, is known as:
Chlorenchyma
Aerenchyma
Prosenchyma
Storage parenchyma
Parenchyma cells play a crucial role in all of the following processes EXCEPT:
Storage of food reserves
Wound healing and tissue regeneration
Photosynthesis (in chlorenchyma)
Providing structural support in mature woody tissues
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of parenchyma cells?
Thin cell walls made of cellulose
Large central vacuole
Intercellular spaces present
Thick, lignified cell walls
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of parenchyma cells?
Thick cell walls
Thin cell walls
Absence of nucleus
Presence of lignin
Parenchyma cells are generally involved in:
Transport of water
Providing mechanical strength
Storage
Transport of minerals
What type of parenchyma contains chloroplasts and performs photosynthesis?
Aerenchyma
Chlorenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Collenchyma
Which tissue is primarily composed of living cells with thin cell walls and intercellular spaces?
Sclerenchyma
Xylem
Parenchyma
Phloem
The main function of aerenchyma in aquatic plants is:
Storage of food
Buoyancy
Photosynthesis
Transport of water
