Question 8 Which of the following is the most accurate statement comparing cell membranes and cell walls? Animal cell Plant Cell Cyloplasm Nucleus Cell membrane Cellulose cell wall Mitochondrion Permanent vacuole Chloroplast Cell membranes are found only in animal cellscell walls are found only in plant cells Cell walls prevent everything from entering the cell, while cell membranes allow some things to enter Cell membranes function mostly as selectively permeable gatekeepers while cell walls function mainly as support systems d Cell walls function mostly for photosynthesis cell membranes function mostly for cellular respiration

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 describes the roles of cell membranes and cell walls. Cell membranes are responsible for regulating the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell, whereas cell walls provide structural support and protection, particularly in plant cells.
