The overall shape of a plant cell is mostly directly related to which of its parts?
A
mitochondria
B
cell wall
C
cell membrane
D
chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The final shape of a growing plant cell, and hence the final form of the plant, is determined by controlled cell expansion. Expansion occurs in response to turgor pressure in a direction that depends in part on the arrangement of the cellulose microfibrils in the wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rigid exterior around the cells is necessary to allow the plants to grow upright. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. The cell wall provides structural support and protection. This gives the plant cells their distinct rectangular or pentagonal shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a fixed shape which is rectangular. These two cells are eukaryotic which are found in green plants and photosynthetic eukaryotes which have a membrane-bound nucleus. Plant cells are bigger than animal cells and are rectangular.

Detailed explanation-5: -Typical components of the cell wall include cellulose, non-cellulosic, and pectic polysaccharides, proteins, phenolic compounds, and water.
