Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following organelles provides extra support for the cell, gives it shape, is mostly made up of cellulose, and found in plant cells?
A
endoplasmic reticulum
B
cell membrane
C
cell wall
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Statement 1: The cell wall is made up of cellulose. Statement 2: It gives shape and rigidity to the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells contain vacuoles. In addition to storing wastes and water, the vacuole also helps to support the cell. This is because the liquid inside the vacuole exerts an outward pressure on the cell, much like the water inside a water balloon. It helps keep cells from collapsing inward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts. The cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell, providing structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-4: -As its name suggests, the cytoskeleton is like a cellular “skeleton.” It helps the cell maintain its shape and also helps to hold cell structures such as organelles in place within the cytoplasm.
