Question 2 Which of the following is the most accurate statement comparing cell membranes and cell walls ? Animal cell Cytoplasm Nucleus Cell membrane Cellulose cell wall Mitochondrion Permanent vacuole Chloroplast Plant Cell cell membranes function mostly as selectively permeable gatekeepers while cell walls function mainly as support systems Cell walls prevent everything from entering the cell, while cell membranes allow some things to enter cell walls function mostly for photosynthesis while cell membranes function mostly for cellular respiration Cell membranes are found only in animal cell walls are found only in plant cells

Answer 1

The most accurate statement comparing cell membranes and cell walls from the options provided is:

Cell membranes function mostly as selectively permeable gatekeepers while cell walls function mainly as support systems.

This statement correctly describes the primary functions of each structure: cell membranes regulate the entry and exit of substances, while cell walls provide structural support and protection for the cell. The other statements contain inaccuracies regarding their functions or the types of cells that contain them.
