Question
Write down about location, structure and functions of parenchyma.

Answer

Structure: Parenchyma is a simple, permanent living tissue which is made up of thin-walled cells. The cells of this tissue are oval, elongated, and loosely packed with large intracellular space. Their cell wall is made up of cellulose. Each cell encloses a large central vacuole, cytoplasm and a prominent nucleus.
Location: The parenchyma tissue is present in soft parts of the plant such as cortex, pith, palisade and some parts of the flower.
Functions: Parenchyma tissue provides support to plants and also stores food. In some situations, it contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis.

The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
