what provides strength and support in plant cells, it is made of cellulose, only plant have this
A
cell membrane
B
cell wall
C
cytoplasm
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cellulose molecules provide tensile strength to the primary cell wall. Each molecule consists of a linear chain of at least 500 glucose residues that are covalently linked to one another to form a ribbonlike structure, which is stabilized by hydrogen bonds within the chain (Figure 19-70).

Detailed explanation-2: -The plant cell wall is made of cellulose, which makes it rigid. The cell wall offers structural support and protection to the cell and it’s rigid nature maintains the regular shape of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall. The cell wall provides strength and support to the plant, much like the exoskeleton of an insect or spider. Our skeletons are inside our bodies, rather than on the outside like insects or spiders. The plant cell wall is mainly made up of the carbohydrates molecules cellulose and lignin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is the primary structural component responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the cell wall. The distribution and orientation of cellulose microfibrils within the cell wall contribute to the control of cell growth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose, a tough, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide, plays an integral role in keeping the structure of plant cell walls stable. Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharide that are arranged in fibrils (bundles of microfibrils), which in turn make up the plant cell wall.
