Detailed explanation-1: -What is the function of the cell wall? The main function of the cell wall is to provide structural strength and support, and also provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress. It also allows cells to develop turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the cell wall is to support, shape, and protect the cell. Most prokaryotes and many eukaryotes have cell walls. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gives the cell a definite shape and structure. Provides structural support. Protection against infection and mechanical stress. Separates interior of the cell from the outer environment. It enables transport of substances and information from the cell insides to the exterior and vice versa. More items
Detailed explanation-5: -Protects the cell from physical injury. Gives the cell a sense of organisation. Keeps osmotic bursting at bay. It maintains the shape of the cell. Regulates the flow of information between cells. It regulates the expansion of cells. Provides protection against pathogens.
