Question

the cell membrane maintains the cell shape.
true
false

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

False
