    Chlorophyll-containing cells (chlorenchyma) carry out photosynthesis and are found in leaves and other green parts of plants. Air cavities (aerenchyma) in aquatic plants allow for gas exchange. Collenchyma cells provide flexibility and strength without breaking, and have thick cell walls made of cellulose. Sclerenchyma cells provide strength and have thick lignified cell walls with little intercellular space. The epidermis forms a protective outer layer of the plant with thick outer cell walls.
