Under microscopic examination, which cellular structure would differentiate a plant cell _ from an animal cell?
Correct answer: D. Cell Wall
- A. Ribosomes
- B. Cell membrane
- C. Cytoplasm
- D. Cell Wall
Explanation
The correct answer is the Cell Wall. The cell wall is a rigid layer that provides structural support and protection to plant cells and is not found in animal cells, making it a key differentiator between the two. While the central vacuole is also a feature of plant cells, the cell wall is more definitive for differentiation. The other options like ribosomes, cell membrane, and cytoplasm are present in both plant and animal cells and therefore cannot be used to differentiate between them.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
