Question 12

Question
Why can animal cells burst where plant cells can't?
Answer
  • Plant cells have a cell wall which supports the cell and prevents it from bursting when the cell is full of water (turgid).
  • They have chloroplasts.
  • They have a permanent vacuole which is filled with cell sap to keep the cell turgid.
