Question

Plant cells do not show endocytosis because

• A. They have a rigid cell wall and internal turgor pressure
• B. They have a large vacuole
• C. They have a nucleus which is pushed to one side
• D. They show plasmolysis

Answer 1

The correct option is A

They have a rigid cell wall and internal turgor pressure

Endocytosis is an invagination of the cell surface to form an intracellular membrane-bounded vesicle containing extracellular fluid. This concludes that to perform endocytosis, the cell surface has to be flexible enough to allow movement. But the internal turgor pressure and rigid cell wall of a plant cell does not allows that.
