Vitamin C is required to produce the collagen present in the extracellular matrix.

<h2>Vitamin C</h2>

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that dissolves in water and can be found in citrus and vegetables. Vitamin C is key to preventing and treating scurvy, which is a disease that occurs from Vitamin C deficiency (most of the time due to malnutrition or severe alcoholism); the first symptoms of scurvy are weakness and fatigue, but if it does not get treated properly, it can progress to anemia, hemorrhage, periodontitis, changes in personality, and finally death.

Vitamin C is a necessary element for tissue healing, collagen synthesis, and neurotransmitter enzymatic production. It is vital for immune system function and is necessary for the functioning of numerous enzymes. It has antioxidant properties as well.

Mademuasel [1]

For one thing based off of process of elimination we know that both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, and a nucleus. Therefore we are left with cytoplasm and cell wall. According to the question we are most likely looking for something in the animal or plant cell that they don’t have in common with each other. Therefore, the answer is cell wall because an animal cell doesn’t have a cell wall, but a plant cell does. The cell wall can also make it more rigid!
