Question
(a) Mention whether the following statement is true or false
(b) Correct the false statement by altering the last word only. The cell wall of the root cell is a differentially permeable membrane.
✓

Answer

True
Explanation : A differentially permeable membrane allows small particles to pass through but blocks the larger ones. The cell wall of the root cell is a differentially permeable membrane because it gives passage to certain salts and solutes but blocks the passage of soil particles surrounding it in case of root cells.
