Of the following which one is non-cellular in most cases in animals?

Correct answer: A. Mesenchyme

  • A. Mesenchyme
  • B. Sclerenchyma
  • C. Chlorenchyma
  • D. Mesoderm

Explanation

Mesenchyme is a loose, gelatinous supporting material that may be largely non-cellular in simple animals such as sponges, although mesenchyme in higher animals contains cells. Students may choose b because mature sclerenchyma cells are dead and lack protoplasm, but sclerenchyma is a plant tissue, not an animal tissue.
