Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of animal cell membrane?
Correct answer: D. Prevent from osmotic lysis
- A. Provides mechanical shape
- B. Regulate passage of molecules
- C. Maintain cellular homeostasis
- D. Prevent from osmotic lysis
Explanation
The animal cell membrane provides mechanical support, maintain cellular homeostasis, and regulate passage of molecules across the membrane. It does not prevent the animal cell from osmotic lysis, it is the function of cell wall, which is absent in animal cells.

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.
