Q26 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (21 April Shift 2) · Biology

Hydrophilic nature, freely permeable and selectively permeable are the characteristics of ------------ respectively

  • A
    Cellulose, plasma membrane and cell wall.
  • B
    Cell wall, plasma membrane and pectin
  • Correct answer
    C
    Cellulose, cell wall and plasma membrane
  • D
    Plasma membrane, cell wall and pectin

Solution

Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that has a strong affinity for water, making it hydrophilic in nature.

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer in plant cells that is freely permeable, allowing water and dissolved substances to pass through without hindrance.

The plasma membrane is a biological membrane that is selectively permeable, meaning it regulates the entry and exit of specific molecules and ions into and out of the cell.

Therefore, the correct sequence is cellulose, cell wall, and plasma membrane.

Answer: Cellulose, cell wall and plasma membrane

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
