Question
Consider the following statements:1. Cell wall is flexible and lies outside the plasma membrane.2. Cell wall is found in only plants and not in fungi.Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?1 pointOnly 1Only 2NoneBoth
Solution
Both statements are incorrect.
For the first statement, while it is true that the cell wall lies outside the plasma membrane, it is not flexible. The cell wall is a rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell.
For the second statement, cell walls are not only found in plants but also in fungi and some prokaryotes like bacteria. Therefore, the statement that cell walls are found only in plants is incorrect.
