Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In cells with a ____, cytolysis is not likely to occur (hint:turgor pressure builds up which helps support the cell).
A
cell membrane
B
cell wall
C
nucleus
D
golgi apparatus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic flow of water and occurs in plants, fungi, and bacteria. The phenomenon is also observed in protists that have cell walls. This system is not seen in animal cells, as the absence of a cell wall would cause the cell to lyse when under too much pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Turgor pressure is best known in plant cells but also occurs in walled cells of other organismal kingdoms. The build-up and maintenance of turgor pressure requires five key components: water, solutes, a selectively permeable membrane, a wall and metabolic energy.
