NEET Questions / Botany / Anatomy of Flowering Plants / Parenchyma
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
Aerenchyma, a specialized type of parenchyma, is primarily found in:
Desert plants
Aquatic plants
Epiphytic plants
Parasitic plants
Which type of parenchyma is responsible for storing food materials like starch, proteins, and oils?
Chlorenchyma
Aerenchyma
Storage parenchyma
Prosenchyma
The main function of chlorenchyma is:
Storage of food
Transport of water
Photosynthesis
Mechanical support
Parenchyma cells are typically capable of:
Cell division, photosynthesis, storage, and secretion
Providing structural support and transporting water
Protecting the plant from pathogens and herbivores
Conducting long-distance transport of sugars and minerals
The intercellular spaces in parenchyma contribute to:
Water transport
Mechanical strength
Gas exchange
Food storage
Identify the type of plant tissue being represented by the set of statements given below I. Their cells are isodiametric (they may be spherical, oval, round, etc.) II. Their cell walls are thin and made up of cellulose III. They may either be closely packed or have small intercellular spaces IV. They perform functions like photosynthesis, storage, secretion, etc.
Sclerenchyma
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Meristem
