What factor among the following contributes to giving cells a distinct shape?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Membrane.
- The cell wall provides a definite shape to plant cells. It is a rigid outer layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells.
- The cell wall is primarily composed of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate, and it provides structural support, protection, and helps maintain the shape of the plant cell.
- In contrast, animal cells lack a cell wall, which is why they often have a more flexible and varied shape.
