Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sclereids are specialized cells found in the flesh of pears (and other fruits such as apples) that have a hard, gritty texture. These cells provide structural support and protection to the fruit. Collenchyma cells provide some support to plant stems but are not typically found in the flesh of fruits. Fibers and tracheids are both types of cells found in vascular tissue and are not directly related to the texture of pear flesh.
