What is the function of the cell wall?
A
Controls all cell activity
B
Supports and protects cell
C
Captures sunlight to make food
D
Supplies energy for the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Cell Membrane A double layer that supports and protects the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is the major reinforcement for the cell wall. Cellulose in the cell wall is organized into strong beams called microfibrils. Cellulose microfibrils function as the backbone of the cell wall (Figure 1C).

Detailed explanation-4: -It provides a structural framework to support plant growth and acts as the first line of defense when the plant encounters pathogens. The cell wall must also retain some flexibility, such that when subjected to developmental, biotic, or abiotic stimuli it can be rapidly remodeled in response.

Detailed explanation-5: -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
