Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of plant cells play a role in photosynthesis, storage of starches, secretion, and storage of secondary metabolites?
A
collenchyma cells
B
epidermal cells
C
parenchyma cells
D
sclerenchyma cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plastids are pivotal subcellular organelles that have evolved to perform specialized functions in plant cells, including photosynthesis and the production and storage of metabolites.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parenchyma cells perform storage (starch and oils) or secretory functions (resins and gums) and form the wood rays that are radially aligned tissues interspersed between the axial elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma cells are active in secretion, photosynthesis, and water and food storage (especially in fleshy fruits). They have large fluid-filled vacuoles that maintain cell turgidity; when a plant wilts, for example, it is because the vacuoles in the parenchyma cells have lost water and have become flaccid.

Detailed explanation-4: -parenchyma tissue The cells are found in many places throughout plant bodies and, given that they are alive, are actively involved in photosynthesis, secretion, food storage, and other activities of plant life. Parenchyma is one of the three main types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants, together…
