In addition to plant cells, which other type of cell typically has a cell wall?
A
Prokaryotic cells (e.g., bacteria)
B
Most eukaryotic cells have a cell wall
C
Mitochondria
D
Animal cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand what a cell wall is — it is a rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection to the cell.
Step 2: Recall that plant cells have cell walls made primarily of cellulose, which helps maintain their shape and resist osmotic pressure.
Step 3: Consider other types of cells: animal cells do not have cell walls; instead, they have only a flexible plasma membrane.
Step 4: Recognize that prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, also have cell walls, but their composition differs (usually peptidoglycan in bacteria).
Step 5: Conclude that besides plant cells, prokaryotic cells typically have cell walls, while mitochondria are organelles inside eukaryotic cells and do not have cell walls.
