Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell wall provides support, structure, and protection to a(n) ____ cell.
A
animal
B
plant
C
bacterial
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides a s well . The cell wall provides structural support and protection. Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell. The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main functions of the cell wall are to provide structure, support, and protection for the cell. The cell wall in plants is composed mainly of cellulose and contains three layers in many plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In plants, the cell wall accounts for plant turgidity. The cell wall protects the plant cell from bursting when too much water has entered the cell. Rather than bursting, the cell is able to withstand the osmotic pressure exerted by the water molecules. Consequently, the cell is kept turgid.
