Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This structure is only in plant cells. It is outside of the cell membrane and adds more support/structure to the plant.
A
Cell membrane
B
Cell Nucleus
C
Cell Wall
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell. The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides a s well . The cell wall provides structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.

Detailed explanation-3: -The middle lamella is also the outermost layer and it acts as an interface between the other neighbouring cells and glues them together. This layer primarily consists of pectins. However, other substances such as lignin and proteins can also be found.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organelles found only in plant cells include-chloroplast, cell wall, plastids, and a large central vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.
