Question 25

Starting outside a generalized plant cell and moving inward, which arrangement of its two outer boundaries is correct?

  1. Cell wall, then cell-surface membraneCorrect answer
  2. Cell-surface membrane, then cell wall
  3. Nuclear envelope, then cell wall
  4. Cell wall, then nuclear envelope

Explanation

The cell wall is outside the cell-surface membrane, so it is encountered before the membrane when moving inward. Reversing them would place the wall inside the selectively controlling boundary, which is not the plant-cell arrangement.
