Question

Cell wall helps to maintain the shape of an animal cell.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Cell wall is a rigid covering found in plant cells exterior to the cell membrane. This layer is absent in animal cells. Animal cells have cell membrane as the limiting layer. It helps to maintain the shape of animal cells. The cell membrane is primarily composed of proteins and lipids. The lipid molecules form a bilayer interspersed with protein molecules. This layer provides structural support, helps in the transport of materials in and out of the cell etc.
