. What is the difference between sclerenchyma and parenchyma tissues

A: Parenchyma - Cells are thin-walled and unspecialized, Sclerenchyma - Cells are thick-walled and lignified

B: Parenchyma - Cells are thick-walled and lignified Sclerenchyma - Cells are thin-walled and unspecialized

C: Parenchyma - Cells are thick-walled and unspecialized, Sclerenchyma - Cells are thick-walled and lignified

D: Parenchyma - Cells are thin-walled and specialized, Sclerenchyma - Cells are thick-walled and lignified

Explanation-

S.NO	Parenchyma tissue	Sclerenchyma tissue
	Cell walls are thin and unspecialized	Cell walls are thick and lignified.
	They are made up of living cells.	Cells are dead.
	Cells are loosely packed and have intercellular spaces between them.	No intercellular spaces are present
	Helps in the storage	provides strength to the plants.
	Some of the cells contain, chlorenchyma, which performs the function of photosynthesis.	Make the plant hard and stiff.
	Cells having air cavities, called aerenchyma, provide buoyancy to the hydrophytic plants.	Tissues are present in the stem, leaves, hard covering of seeds, and nuts.

Final Answer-

So, The correct option is A.
