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

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
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of parenchyma cells?
