Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This structure is in plant cells and not animal cells. It is outside of the cell membrane and adds more support/structure to the plant.
A
Cell membrane
B
Cell Nucleus
C
Cell Wall
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells are surrounded by a tough extracellular matrix in the form of a cell wall, which is responsible for many of the unique features of a plant’s life style.

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. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell wall is a boundary, present outside the plasma membrane or cell membrane. It is made up of cellulose and is present only in plant cells. It is not present in an animal cell.
