CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This structure is in plant cells but not animal cells. It is outside of the cell membrane and adds more support/structure/rigidity to the plant.
A
Cell membrane
B
Cell Nucleus
C
Cell Wall
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell, providing structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal cells have centrioles, centrosomes (discussed under the cytoskeleton), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is C. The chloroplasts and lysosomes are the membrane-bound organelles that are not found in both plant and animal cells. The chloroplasts are found only in the plant cells and do not occur in the animal cells. They are a type of plastids that act as sites of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress. It also allows cells to develop turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall.
