1. Collenchyma provides flexible structural support in plants, allowing them to withstand mechanical stress without hindering growth. Located in stems, leaves, and petioles, its cells have thickened cell walls, primarily composed of cellulose and pectin, which enable flexibility and strength.

  2. Collenchyma tissue provides flexibility in plants. It is commonly found in stems, leaves, and petioles, where its thickened cell walls offer support while allowing for growth and movement, helping the plant withstand mechanical stress and adapt to environmental conditions.

  3. Aerenchyma tissue in aquatic plants facilitates buoyancy and gas exchange. Its large air-filled spaces allow oxygen to diffuse throughout the plant, enabling submerged parts to respire and stay afloat, thereby enhancing survival in waterlogged environments.

  4. Chlorenchyma is a type of parenchyma tissue rich in chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis. It forms in the mesophyll layer of leaves and green stems, converting light energy into chemical energy to produce food for the plant.

  5. The term "cell differentiation" describes the process by which cells acquire specific shapes, sizes, and functions. This process enables the formation of various cell types, tissues, and organs, each specialized for distinct roles within an organism.
