Answer

Certainly, here is a table differentiating parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma based on their cell wall characteristics:

Tissue TypeCell Wall CompositionCell Wall ThicknessOther Cell Wall Features
ParenchymaPrimarily composed of celluloseThin and flexibleCell wall is relatively uniform in thickness
CollenchymaRich in cellulose and pectinUnevenly thickened; thicker at the cornersProvides elasticity and tensile strength; cell wall thickening facilitates support
SclerenchymaLignified (contains lignin)Thick and rigidProvides structural support; thickening is often extensive, making the cells hard and brittle
