Question

The plant cells can withstand much greater changes of surrounding medium than the animal cells. What is the reason for it ?

A Cell wall exerts an inward wall pressure to resist the outward pressure exerted by the cell sap.

B Cell membrane exerts an inward wall pressure to resist the outward pressure exerted by the cell sap

C Cell wall exerts an outward wall pressure to increase the outward pressure exerted by the cell sap

D None of the above

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plant cells can withstand much greater changes in surrounding due to the presence of cell walls. Cell walls are an extra covering in plant cells and absent in animal cells. Cell walls are dead in nature and are made up of cellulose and fully permeable. It provides the plant's cells with mechanical strength.
