When a plant cell receives a signal for death, it commits suicide by rupturing:
Correct answer: C. Tonoplast
- A. Nucleus
- B. Cell membrane
- C. Tonoplast
- D. Chloroplast
Explanation
The plant cell if it receives the signal to die, it commits suicide in a programmed way. This happens by the release of enzymes internally. All enzymes in plant cells are in a vacuole which is covered by a membrane called tonoplast. Rupturing of that membrane leads to the enzymes within vacuoles spilling out in the protoplasm.

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.
