If placed in tap water, an animal cell will undergo lysis, whereas a plant cell will not. what accounts for this difference? if placed in tap water, an animal cell will undergo lysis, whereas a plant cell will not. what accounts for this difference? the expulsion of water by the plant cell's central vacuole the relative inelasticity and strength of the plant cell wall the relative impermeability of the plant cell wall to water the fact that plant cells are isotonic to tap water

Answer: The relative in elasticity and strength of the plant cell wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Animal cell is not made of cellulose but plant cell is. This adds extra protection to the cell.

The cell wall provides protection from the external environment by avoiding the entrance of unnecessary materials through the cell membrane.

The turgor pressure and vacuoles also helps in the movement of water in adequate amount so that the cell does not bursts.
