CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plant cells have special structures not found in animal cells, including a cell membrane, large central vacuole, plastid
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells. The cell wall is a rigid covering that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles are also found in animal, protist, fungal, and bacterial cells, but large central vacuoles are only found in plant cells.
