Question 3 • TPS EdX Biology

What do sclerenchyma and collenchyma have in common?

Answer
A
They both function for food production and storage.
B
They are both thin-walled.
C
They both function for support.
D
They are both dead cells.

Explanation

Both sclerenchyma and collenchyma provide structural support to plants. Collenchyma cells support growing parts, while sclerenchyma cells provide stronger support in mature parts. They differ in whether their cells are living and in the structure of their walls, so the other choices do not describe both.
