Zorluk: KolaySupport Structures and Locomotion

Which of the following plant tissues provides flexible mechanical support to young growing stems through cell walls with localized cellulose and pectin thickenings at the corners?

  1. Collenchyma tissueCevap
  2. B
    Sclerenchyma tissue
  3. C
    Xylem vessel tissue
  4. D
    Parenchyma tissue

Cevap

Collenchyma tissue provides flexible mechanical support to young growing shoots due to uneven cellulose and pectin thickenings at cell wall corners.
Collenchyma cells remain living at maturity and possess unevenly thickened cell walls containing high amounts of cellulose and pectin at the corners. This structural arrangement allows young plant parts, such as growing stems and leaf petioles, to bend without breaking.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary supporting tissues in plants and their structural features.
Collenchyma tissue consists of living cells with localized wall thickenings composed of cellulose and pectin.
These specific corner thickenings allow the tissue to resist bending stress while permitting continued growth and flexibility.
