yea, it is. I'm studying 4 my test right now and its on here and in the book.
I got the same answer.

What is every plant and animal cell surrounded by?
Every plant and animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. Plant cells have both a cell membrane and a cell wall because they can create there own food through photosynthesis. Animal cells have to absorb food, so they cant have a cell wall.
What animal has an cavity consisting of a tube surrounded by organs?
Pseudocoelomate is the word used for an animal with an unlined body cavity made up of a tube surrounded by organs.
Do plant or animal cells have a cell wall?
Plant cells. They need to stay rigid and be able to withstand osmotic pressure.
Do plant cells have cell membranes?
Yes. While animal cells have only cell membranes, plant cells have both a cell membrane (between the cell wall and cytoplasm) and a cell wall (a cellulose wall that offsets osmotic pressure causing turgor to occur).
How can you call cell wall as dead and cell membrane as living?
because cell wall is not so imp. as if we provide a constant osmotic temp. then the cell will survive as in animal cells they do but if cell membrane doesn"t exist then cell would not survive.
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes?
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causesAn animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes the cytoplasm is hypertonic where it will absorb water hence swells leading it to burst.
What does sodium chloride do for the animal body?
Sodium is indispensable for life because it is important for:- regulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure- transmission of nervous impulse- correct neuron function
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
Starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store what in order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant?
In order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant, starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store glucose. Cells require sugar or glucose as a source of energy for many different functions.
What cell is osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments because if they swell or shrink their membranes will rupture?
animal cells
Animal cells are surrounded by?
Animal cells are surrounded by a cell membrane.
What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
Hypotonic
An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell
What happens to a animal cell in pure water an explain Why this does not happen in a plant cell?
Similar to placing an animal cell into water, the cell will swell and could burst, depending on the rigidity of the cell wall. This occurs because the osmotic pressure from dissolved solids is greater inside the cell than in the water. This osmotic pressure would then allow a passive diffusion of water into the area of greater solute density and thus expand the volume of the cell until equilibration or bursting.
Do plant cells have a larger vacuole than animal cells?
To maintain high osmotic potential
