Different types of plant cells

1. Different types of plant cells Parenchyma cell Collenchyma cell Sclerenchyma cell Phloem Xylem

2. Parenchyma cells  are usually depicted as the typical plant cell because they are not very specialized. These cells synthesize and store organic products in the plant. Most of the plant's metabolism takes place in these cells. Parenchyma Tissue

3. 1 ) photosynthesis 2) storage of air (aeranchyma) 3) storage of water and minerals 4) two types of parenchyma are there palisade Parenchyma performs photosynthesis where the rate is very high because of high chlorophyll content and spongy parenchyma acts as a air storage. Important points of Parenchyma Tissue

4. Collenchyma cells  have a support function in plants, particularly in young plants. These cells help to support plants while not restraining growth due to their lack of secondary walls and the absence of a hardening agent in their primary walls. Collenchyma Tissue

5. Collenchyma tissues are mainly  found under the epidermis  in young 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. Collenchyma cells have  thick cellulose cell walls  which  thickened  at the corners.  Collenchyma serve as  supporting and strengthening tissue , Collenchyma   with chloroplasts, photosynthesis  takes place. Important points of Collenchyma Tissue

6. Sclerenchyma cells  also have a support function in plants but unlike Collenchyma cells, they have a hardening agent and are much more rigid . Sclerenchyma Tissue

7. Most abundant  cells in plants. Spherical  cells which flatten at point of contact. A live at maturity; pliable , primary cell walls. L arge vacuoles for  storage  of starch, fats, and tannins (denature proteins Important points of Sclerenchyma Tissue

8. Phloem tissue consists of: conducting cells, generally called  sieve. Elements ;  parenchyma  cells, including both specialized  companion cells   or albuminous cells  and unspecialized cells; and supportive cells, such as  fibres  and  sclereids Phloem Tissue

9. Sieve tube members of  phloem  conduct organic nutrients such as sugar throughout the plant .   Phloem  is the living  tissue  that carries organic  nutrients  (known as  photosynthate ), in particular,  sucrose , [1]  a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed. Important points of Phloem Tissue

10. The most distinctive xylem  cells  are the long tracheary elements that transport water.  Tracheids  and  vessel elements  are distinguished by their shape; vessel elements are shorter, and are connected together into long tubes that are called  vessels . Xylem Tissue

11. Xylem caries water and disolved nutrients from the roots throughout the plant . Xylem is the upward conduction of water while phloem is the upward and downward conduction of food and minerals Important points of Xylem Tissue
