Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do the cell walls help plant cells with?
A
Support
B
Storage
C
Shaping the cells
D
Protection
E
Determining what goes in and out of the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Plasma membrane is the outermost protective layer in cells of all plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant cell wall (CW) is a complex structure that acts as a mechanical barrier, restricting the access to most microbes. Phytopathogenic microorganisms can deploy an arsenal of CW-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) that are required for virulence.
