STRUCTURE OF THE MITOCHONDRION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A cell structure that is a rigid layer that supports the cell and provides shape is the?
A
cell membrane
B
cell wall
C
cytoplasm
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell. The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides a s well . The cell wall provides structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell wall is composed of a network of cellulose microfibrils and cross-linking glycans embedded in a highly cross-linked matrix of pectin polysaccharides. In secondary cell walls, lignin may be deposited.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoskeleton is an important, complex, and dynamic cell component. It acts to organize and maintain the cell’s shape; anchors organelles in place; helps during endocytosis (the uptake of external materials by a cell); and moves parts of the cell in processes of growth and motility.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell wall is the most rigid component of the plant cell. Q. Assertion :Water entering a plant cell makes it turgid. Reason: Entry of water into cell develops wall pressure inside the cell.
