Explore the three different types of ground tissue cells in detail and complete the chart below.

parenchyma have primary cell walls (thin) and are unspecialized and metabolically active (photosynthesis, respiration)

collenchyma have primary cell walls (unevenly thick) which provide a level of structural support in areas of high growth, they are alive so have a protoplast

sclerenchyma have secondary cell walls which means they have lignin and are thick, they are functionally dead at maturity so provide support in areas that are done growing and are involved in transport of water

Explanation:

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
