CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Plant cells have a more rigid structure than animal cells.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells and animal cells differ from each other concerning some organelles. Cell walls are the rigid outer covering layer of the plant cell. It is made up of cellulose and polysaccharides that makes it tough and gives rigidity to plant cells. This is the reason that plant cells remain more rigid than animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells are more rigid than the animaal cell wass due to the presene of cell wall. Plant cells are made up of an inner and outer cell layer made up of cellulose and lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, so they have several features in common, such as the presence of a cell membrane, and cell organelles, like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts. 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-5: -No, animal cells do not have a cell wall. They don’t need them. Cell walls are rigid structures found in plant cells. They provide plant cells with much-needed structure, shape, support and protection.
