Which statement is true?

A plant cell has a nucleus, but an animal cell does not.
An animal cell has a cell membrane and a cell wall.
An animal cell has mitochondria, but a plant cell does not.
A plant cell has a cell membrane and a cell wall.

1 answer

The true statement is: A plant cell has a cell membrane and a cell wall.

Here's a brief explanation of why the other statements are false:

  1. A plant cell has a nucleus, but an animal cell does not. - This is false. Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus.

  2. An animal cell has a cell membrane and a cell wall. - This is false. Animal cells have a cell membrane but do not have a cell wall. Only plant cells have a cell wall.

  3. An animal cell has mitochondria, but a plant cell does not. - This is false. Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria; they are essential for energy production in both types of cells.

Therefore, the correct statement is about the presence of a cell wall in plant cells.
