Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of plant cell is dead at maturity and provides rigid support?
Correct Answer: Sclerenchyma cells
  • Step 1: Understand that plant cells can be alive or dead when they reach maturity.
  • Step 2: Identify that some plant cells are specifically designed to provide support to the plant.
  • Step 3: Learn that sclerenchyma cells are a type of plant cell that is dead when they are fully developed.
  • Step 4: Recognize that sclerenchyma cells have thick walls that are often strengthened with a substance called lignin.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of their structure, sclerenchyma cells help the plant stay upright and provide rigidity.
