Question
Chapter 33.2, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason why tissues made of collenchyma cells are more flexible than those made of sclerenchyma cells.
Introduction:
The tissue, which is present between dermal tissue and vascular tissue in shoots, as well as roots, is known as the ground tissue. These tissues have three kinds of cells, including sclerenchyma, parenchyma, and collenchyma.

Why are internal secretions in specialized cells and not in a regular parenchyma cell which has vacuole as waste depot?
Like clay, walls of collenchyma exhibits plasticity. Does that mean it can or cannot be stretched? If a tissue is supported by collenchyma, can it still grow?
Differentiate parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells.
