Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A typical animal cell is spherical in shape.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Animal cells lack rigidity, so they tend to have round and irregular shapes. The appearance of animal cells often changes greatly. The cell wall allows high pressure to build inside the plant cell without breaking.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells lack the rigidity hence, they tend to have a round and irregular shape. Animal cells tend to vary greatly in appearance.

Detailed explanation-3: -This structure is caused by the cell wall which is very rigid and therefore forces the cell to have a defined shape. However, animal cells do not have a cell wall but only the plasma membrane. So, they do not have a defined shape. They are not necessarily round but instead have an irregular shape.
