Parenchyma
 
Sclerenchyma
1.

1.
Cells are thick walled and lignifieg.
2.
These are living cells.
2.
Tissues are made up of dead cells.
3.
Cells are usually loosely packed with large intercellular space.
3.
No intercellular apaces between the calls are found.
4.
Stores nutrient and water in stem and roots.
4.
Provides strength to the plant parts.
5.
Some cells contain chlorophyll called chlorenchyma and photosynthesis. other cells have large air which provid buoyancy to the hydrophytic plants.
5.
The cells are long and narrow. make the plant hard and stiff. The tissue is present in the stem around of leaves and seeds and nuts.

How does the force of attraction between the two bodies depend upon their masses and distance between them?
A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
  1. Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume?
  2. Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
  3. Having the same composition as that on the moon?
