- Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. Collenchyma cells stay alive in mature tissue.; II. Variably shaped cells of sclerenchyma die when they are mature.; III. The thick cell walls of sclerenchyma contain a high proportion of durable compounds such as pectin which lend sturdiness to plant parts and help them resist stretching and compression.; IV. In collenchyma, chitin imparts flexibility to these cells’ primary wall, which is thickened unevenly where three or more of the cells abut one another. All statements are true. Only three (3) statements are true. Only two (2) statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. None of the statements is true.arrow_forwardLike clay, walls of collenchyma exhibits plasticity.
