Collenchyma and sclerenchyma fibers both have a similar main function. What is it?

Biology
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago

Answer:

To provide mechanical support to the plant parts

Explanation:

Collenchyma fibers consist of living cells with unevenly thickened primary cell walls and mainly serve to provide support to the plant parts of herbs. These fibers provide elastic support and are also present in the form of long strands near the surface of stems and along the leaf veins.  

Sclerenchyma fibers consist of dead cells at maturity and have an extremely thick cell wall. The main function of these fibers is to provide strength and support to the plant body. The presence of thick secondary cell walls in cells of sclerenchymatous fibers makes them strong and hard to provide mechanical support and strength to plant part. These fibers are particularly abundant in stems of woody trees and certain types of leaves.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Seismic waves,    Outer,    Mantle

Explanation:

P-waves vibrate longitudinally to the direction of propagation while S-waves vibrate vertically to direction of propagation. This is why S-waves are called shear waves while P-waves are compressional waves. S-waves are the main cause of destruction in an earthquake and are slower than P-waves.

The wave movement of P-waves allows them to pass through liquids and gases while S-waves cannot. Due to this differential phenomenon of these waves, the reflection of P –waves and S-waves after an earthquake – and as their vibrations are picked up by seismographs around the earth - enabled scientists to determine the properties of the  layers of the earth’’s interior.
