Question

Question 13 7 pts Which of the following statements accurately describes why an animal cell would be surrounded by an extra cellular matrix instead of a cell wall? Hint: • Extracellular components a video • Textbook chapter 4 under section 4.6 A cell wall would completely isolate the neighboring cells that are found within multicellular organisms, and because of this, it would prevent the ability of those cells to communicate with each other. The polysaccharide cellulose that is found in the cell walt is a carbohydrate and as such, the cell wall would be quickly digested by the animal cell's mitochondria. Cell walls are rigid (.e. not flexible), and this prevents the growth and development of multicellular organisms Animal cells require a constant supply of water, and the presence of a cell wall would prevent water uptake, The presence of the cell wall would prevent animal cells from changing shape. This is necessary for animal movement

Answer 1

13.All the reasons listed in first four options would be incorrect because these characteristics doesn't affect the plant neither in communication,water supply,growth nor the mitochondria digest the cell wall in plants. So the reason that it won't be able to perform movement due to rigidity in cell wall is right.
