Detailed explanation-1: -collenchyma, in plants, support tissue of living elongated cells with irregular cell walls. Collenchyma cells have thick deposits of cellulose in their cell walls and appear polygonal in cross section.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of simple tissue in a plant: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma cells have thin cellulose cell walls and usually contain many chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Sclerenchyma cell walls are reinforced with lignin and extra cellulose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pectin and cellulose are deposited at the corner of cells in collenchyma.
Detailed explanation-4: -Secondary cell walls differ in structure from the primary wall-they contain xylans, rather than xyloglucans, and a higher proportion of cellulose (less hemicellulose).
Detailed explanation-5: -Due to the hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectin deposits, the cells of collenchyma tissue are significantly thickened at the corners.
