Question

Which of these statements is not true regarding the cell wall?

(a) The cell wall of a young plant can grow

(b) The primary wall of the cell wall can grow

(c) The secondary wall accelerates the growth of the cell wall

(d) the secondary wall is formed on the inner side of the cell

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

My question is based upon Eukaryotic Cells and it’s Organelles in chapter Cell : The Unit of Life of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) The secondary wall accelerates the growth of the cell wall

The best explanation: The cell wall of a young plant cell can grow because of the growth of the primary wall of the cell wall. However, as the plant gets bigger, the secondary wall which is formed towards the cell membrane diminishes this growth.
