Question

Which of the following statements about cellulose is FALSE? Microtubules are directly attached to the outside surface of the plasma membrane to form tracks that help orient the cellulose polymers Cellulose is synthesized on the outside of the cell. An array of microtubules guides the cellulose synthase complex as it moves in the membrane Cellulose synthase enzyme complexes are integral membrane proteins

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is false, the remaining statements regarding cellulose are correct

"Microtubules are directly attached to the outside surface of the plasma membrane to form tracks that help orient the cellulose polymers"

Explanation:

Cellulose is specific to plant cells walls only, animal cells do not contain cellulose. It is produced at the membrane of the cell. The microtubules are actually attached to the inside of the plasma membrane and it helps to orient the cellulose polymers that way. It provides vital structural support to the plant.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
