Question 8 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 function mostly for photosynthesis while cell membranes function mostly for cellular respiration Cell membranes are found only in anima cells cell walls are found only in plant cells Cell walls prevent everything from entering the white ce membranes allow some things to enter 0000

Answer 1

The most accurate statement comparing cell membranes and cell walls is:

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

This statement correctly reflects the roles of both structures. The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing for selective permeability, while the cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell, particularly in plant cells. The other statements provided are either incorrect or misleading.
