Question

Cells found in the hypodermal layer of dicot stem show all of these properties except (A) possess thickened cell wall (B) are dead at maturity (C) possess vacuoles for storage of food (D) have cell wall made up of cellulose, pectin and hemicellulose

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The collenchyma cells are polygonal or oval in shape. They have thickenings of pectin in the cell wall along with cellulose and hemicellulose. The collenchyma cells are found in the hypodermal layer of the dicot stem. These cells have negligible intercellular spaces due to pectin deposition. Collenchyma is said to be the living mechanical tissue.
