Question
the cell membrane maintains the cell shape.
true
false
Brief Explanations
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is mainly responsible for controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell, cell - cell recognition, etc. The structure that mainly maintains the cell shape, especially in plant cells, is the cell wall. In animal cells, the cytoskeleton (like microtubules, microfilaments) plays a major role in maintaining cell shape. So the statement that the cell membrane maintains the cell shape is false.
