Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which structure provides protection to the plant cell and gives it its shape?
A
plasma membrane
B
vacuole
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, 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-3: -The cell is surrounded by a plasma membrane (or cell membrane) to separate the cell contents from the external environment. Biology definition: A cell wall is a structural layer next to the cell membrane with the primary role of giving the cell rigidity and protection from mechanical stress.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells are like small balloons surrounded by a strong cell wall. Their internal pressure can be higher than the pressure in a car tire. It is this pressure that gives non-woody plant tissue its shape.
