The cellular structure of a plant cell consists of which non-living component?
Correct answer: B. Cell wall
- A. Nucleus
- B. Cell wall
- C. Cell membrane
- D. All of these
Explanation
Option B is correct since, in a plant cell, the 'cell wall' is the only part that is non-living because it is an extracellular product and exists outside the living boundary of the cell i.e. the plasma membrane, and protects the cell besides providing it a definite shape.
