Question

Compare and contrast the boundaries that plant, animal, and bacteria cells use to separate themselves from their surrounding environment.

a) Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, animal cells have a flexible cell membrane, bacteria cells lack a defined boundary
b) Plant cells have a flexible cell membrane, animal cells have a rigid cell wall, bacteria cells have a capsule
c) Plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, bacteria cells have a rigid cell wall
d) Plant cells have a capsule, animal cells have a flexible cell membrane, bacteria cells have a rigid cell wall

Answer 1

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, animal cells have a flexible cell membrane, and bacteria cells lack a defined boundary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, animal cells have a flexible cell membrane, and bacteria cells lack a defined boundary. Plant cells also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Bacteria cells have a capsule.
