Similarly, what will be the effect on membrane potential if Cl- ions move into a cell?
Or. Foyez Samar
The volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger the c
corresponding volume in animal cells. The most regsengble explanation for this observation Is that
A) plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells.
B) plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cens.
C) plant cells contain a large vacuole that reduces the volume of the cytoplasm.
D) animal cells are more spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated.
