Question

By changing the amount of water in them:

• A. animal cells convey information.
• B. plant cells change shape and convey information.
• C. animal cells change shape.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

plant cells change shape and convey information.

Animal cells have specialized tissues for the conduction of information. Plants use electrical-chemical means to convey information from cell to cell. Specialized proteins found in animal muscle cells enable them to change shapes. Plant cells change shapes by changing the amount of water in them, resulting in swelling or shrinking.
