Review the diagram below and select the best response: a Animal cells always have cell walls b Plant and animal cells have chloroplasts c Only Plant cells have rough endoplasmic reticulum d Plants have a larger vacuole

1 answer

Based on the options provided and general knowledge about cell biology, the best response is:

d. Plants have a larger vacuole.

In general, plant cells typically have a larger central vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining turgor pressure, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles. The other options are incorrect:

  • a. Animal cells always have cell walls: This is false; animal cells do not have cell walls.
  • b. Plant and animal cells have chloroplasts: This is false; only plant cells and some algae have chloroplasts.
  • c. Only Plant cells have rough endoplasmic reticulum: This is false; rough endoplasmic reticulum is found in both plant and animal cells.
