Plant cells are surrounded by:
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
|
only a cell membrane |
|
only a cell wall |
|
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
