Answer 1

The correct statement about plasma membranes is:

Both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes.

This is true as both types of cells possess a plasma membrane (also referred to as a cell membrane), which is flexible and allows for the regulation of substances entering and leaving the cell. Plant cells also have a rigid cell wall, but this does not replace the plasma membrane; rather, the plasma membrane is located just inside the cell wall.
