Explain how a plant cells central vacuole and cell wall help make the cell rigid?

A plants cells preferred environment is hypontonic. This means it likes lots of water, which fill up the central vacuole. The turgor pressure keeps it rigid and prevents it from wilting, (as plants do with lack of water)
The Cell wall keeps it rigid by allowing the central vacuole to hold a large amount of water without the cells bursting.
Animal cells do not have cell walls, so they burst in hypotonic environments

∙ 9y agoThe cell walls of the plant are made up of cellulose, which gives the cell structure. The central vacuole acts as a bladder, keeping a constant pressure inside the cell. Between the exterior rigidity of the cell wall and the interior pressure, the plant cell remains rigid.

What components of a cell are unique for plant cells?
If by components, you mean organelles then there are amyloplasts , chloroplasts ,vacuole..
Do animal cells have the central vacuole?
No. The permanent central vacuole is a feature of plant cells.
Do animal cells have a central vacuole?
No, only plant cells do. Animal cells do have smaller vacuoles though.
What makes plant cells or tissue turgid?
The central vacuole in eukaryotic plant cells. The central vacuole pushes up against the cell membrane to form the structure of the plant. Without water in the central vacuole, the plant begins to wilt.
Is central vacuole in plant cells or animal cells?
Plant cell

central vacuole
Is central vacuole a plant animal or both?
central vacuoles are found in plant cells
What stores water for plant cells?

Can central vacuole be found in animal cells?
No, plant cells only.
Is vacuole found an animal cell or plant cell?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. Plant cells are known for their large central water vacuole.
