Question

The cell that does not have a cell wall is the _____.
human cheek cell
onion cell

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is for the blank is -

human cheek cell.

Cell wall can be described as a rigid layer, composed of polysaccharides (such as cellulose in higher plants) and present outside the cell membrane ( also called plasma membrane) in plants, fungi, and bacteria.

It is absent in animal cells, such as human cheek cells (where only cell membrane is present, surrounding the cytoplasm of cell).

Thus, human cheek cell does not contain cell wall.

Answer 2

A human cheek cell will not have a cell wall because cell walls are plant structures.
