  2. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Collenchyma cells are most often found adjacent to outer growing tissues such as the vascular cambium and are known for increasing structural support and integrity. The first use of "collenchyma" ( / k ə ˈ l ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə , k ɒ -/ [ 7 ] [ 8 ] ) was by Link (1837) who used it to describe the sticky substance on Bletia (Orchidaceae) pollen.

  3. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

    Cross section of collenchyma cells. Collenchyma (Greek, 'Colla' means gum and 'enchyma' means infusion) is a living tissue of primary body like Parenchyma. Cells are thin-walled but possess thickening of cellulose, water and pectin substances (pectocellulose) at the corners where a number of cells join. This tissue gives tensile strength to the ...

  6. Collocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocyte

    The name collenchyma in turn was borrowed from botany because of a fancied, essentially irrelevant, resemblance between sponge tissue and a particular class of ground tissue in plants. The collencytes are one of the classes of component cells of the sponges' tissue, loose mesenchyme between the ectoderm and the endoderm in the body wall. [ 14 ]

  7. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The secondary cell wall is a structure found in many plant cells, located between the primary cell wall and the plasma membrane.The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1]
