Detailed explanation-1: -Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are supporting tissues in plants. They are composed of cells with thick cell walls that whithstand mechanical forces. Although both tissues share the same function, they show different location in the body plant and their cell walls have different structure and texture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Collenchyma is a tissue present in plants which is made up of elongated living cells with thickened corners made up of cellulose and pectin. Such tis sue provides flexibility and tensile strength to plant and facilitates easy bending and provide mechanical support to young plants and twigs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Similarities between parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma are: They all are roughly spherical in shape. They all have role in providing support to the organ where they are present. They all are most commonly found in the cortex region.
