Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell wall in plant cells provides structural support and protection, which would be advantageous during low tide when the cell may be exposed to physical stressors such as wind or wave action. Animal cells do not have cell walls, so they do not have this advantage. The other options (plasma membrane, chloroplasts, nucleus, and mitochondria) are present in both plant and animal cells and do not provide a specific advantage during low tide.
