Draw a cross section of the celery petiole, labeling parenchyma in the epidermis, collenchyma in the cortex, and sclerenchyma in the vascular tissue. For example, the epidermis is a collection of parenchyma-like cells working together to separate the internal environment of the plant from the exterior.
