Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collenchyma cells provide support and structure to growing stems and leaves. The chewy, stringy strands in celery are made up of collenchyma cells. Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues involved in transport, while sclerenchyma cells are more rigid and provide support, but are not commonly found in celery. Parenchyma cells are unspecialized and found in all types of plant tissue.
