Question

Which of the following statements are correct regarding the general difference between plant and animal cells?Plant cells have cellulose cell walls whilst animal cells do not.Plant cells do not have plasma membrane unlike animal cells which do.Mature plant cell has one large vacuole whilst animal cell has many small vacuoles.Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Accepted Answer

The most important difference between a plant cell and an animal cell is that the former has a cell wall. A cell wall gives mechanical support to a plant cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls.Plants have both a cell wall that is made up of cell membrane (plasma membrane) and cellulose. The cell wall is a rigid membrane matrix found on the surface of all plant cells whose primary role is to protect the cell and its content. Hence statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct.Plant cells have a large central vacuole that can occupy up to 90% of the cell’s volume. Animal cells may have many small vacuoles, a lot smaller than the plant cell. Hence statement 3 is correct.Source: NCERT
