Describe structural adaptations of vascular tissue for support.
- Parenchyma tissue has cells with a flexible membrane, that allows the cells to expand and become turgid and closely packed providing hydrostatic support
- Collenchyma tissue has polygonal/rectangular cells with cellulose walls to offer tensile strength and compressional strength for extra support
- Sclerenchyma tissue in form on fibres are lignified, closely packed to offer firmness
- In stems vessels are peripheral of the stem for support
- Mature xylem completes development by annular, spiral, or reticulate lignification to increase support.
