Answer:

Parenchyma- Found in plants, these cells function as a food storage

Collenchyma- mechanical support

Step-by-step explanation:

Another function of the parenchyma is healing and repair, and of the collenchyma it acts as a protection barrier for the soft inner part of the plant.

Parenchyma are cell tissues made up of cellulose, while the collenchyma are made up of hemicellulose.
