Question 4 (1 point)
Parenchyma cells are the most common and versatile cells. They are thin and contain large vacuoles. Where are they typically located?

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
