Choose the option that best describes the relationship between the cell wall thickness of parenchyma cells versus sclerenchyma cells. A) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thinner than those of sclerenchyma cells. B) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thicker than those of schlerenchyma cells. C) The cell walls of both types of cells are roughly equal. D) The thickness of the cell walls for both types of cells is too variable for a comparison to be made.

Explanation:

A) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thinner than those of sclerenchyma cells

Plants posses basically two kinds of tissue- meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.

Meristematic tissue is made up of cells which are capable of active division and give rise to other tissues,.

Permanent tissue are already differentiated and usually do not divide.

Permanent tissues are -collenchyma, sclerenchyma and parenchyma.

Parenchyma and collenchyma are living whereas sclerenchyma is non-living.
