• a depletion of mRNA

• an inability to make ribosomes

• a failure to complete replication

• an impairment of protein modification

Which statement correctly describes the difference between cell membranes and cell walls?

• Cell membranes are only found in animal cells, while cell walls are found in both plant and animal cells.

• The cell membranes of plant and animal cells are flexible and do not have a definite shape, while the cell walls of plant cells are rigid which gives plant cells a definite shape.

• Cell membranes are the outermost covering in plant cells, while cell walls are in direct contact with the cytoplasm of animal cells.

• The cell membranes of plant and animal cells are impermeable which allows nothing to pass, while the cell walls of plant cells are permeable which allows small things to pass.

A student listed some components of four types of cells.

Which cell is most likely an animal cell?

• cell wall

  mitochondria

  nucleus

• cell membrane

  nucleus

  vacuole

• cell wall

  chloroplast

  large vacuole

• cell membrane

  mitochondria

  chloroplast

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• vesicles
