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.
