Q.25:
The cell walls are dead and completely permeable then why is the answer D? I mean how can it restrict the entry of water?
Anyone????
D is corect Plant cell walls restrict the entry of water, animal cell membranes allow the free entry of
water. This is bcoz plant cell walls are made of cellulose which prevents the cell from bursting when it absorbs alot of water. cellulose can withstand high pressure and become turgid restricting entry of more water
