alleryWhich structure is FOUND IN PLANT CELLS but NOT in animal cells?
AMitochondria
BNucleus
CCell wall (rigid, made of cellulose)
DCell membrane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Cell wall (rigid, made of cellulose)
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, outside the cell membrane.
This gives plant cells their characteristic rigidity and shape.
Animal cells have only the flexible cell membrane (no cell wall).
Other structures (cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria) are common to both.
