Question 4 options:

Leaves


Stems


Roots


All of the above

Question 5 (1 point)
Sclerenchyma cells were observed in the stem of the plant. What is the primary function of these cells?

Question 5 options:

Absorb nutrients and water


Store water in times of drought


Support and protection of the plant


Aid in growth and development of the plant

Question 6 (1 point)
Why does sclerenchyma have a narrow lumen?

Question 6 options:

The cells are smaller hence, the lumen is narrow


The cells have thick lignified cell walls leaving the lumen narrow


The nucleus is smaller leading to a narrow lumen


Sclerenchyma do not need organelles, hence the lumen is narrow
