Question

In plant cells, cell wall formation starts

• A. from centre towards the lateral wall
• B. from lateral wall towards the centre
• C. both from lateral and centre
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A from centre towards the lateral wall

In plant cell, the formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor, called the cell-plate that represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacent cells. It starts from the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
