a thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. This layer of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure. The cell wall also bonds with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant.
The functions of the cell wall in a plant cell are -
The cell wall acts as a protective layer for the cell. It gives rigidity and strength to the cell.
The cell wall is semipermeable and controls what enters and exits the cell.
The cell wall is flexible and allows for expansion of the cell when it absorbs water and mineral salts.
It helps to maintain the osmotic balance and prevents osmotic lysis (bursting of the cell due to excess water entering the cell).
It prevents the entry of molecules that may be toxic to the plant cell.
The cell wall keeps the cell in a rigid shape. The cell wall relies on the water in vacuole to keep exerting pressure on it to keep shape. When the plant is healthy and the vacuole is exerting enough pressure, the cell is known as being in a turgid state. The cell wall also provides structural support and can in some case prevent mechanical injury or help exchanges between the cell and the rest of the plant or the surrounding environment.
To mantain the shape and regidity of the cell.
The cell wall works to hold the plant cell in a rectangular shape. Plants don't have bones
so they need the cell wall to hold the plant up.
To keep the cell's shape and to protect the cell.
it protects and supports the cell

Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell wall, which the animal cell does not have. An animal cell does not need chloroplasts as the function of the chloroplast is to help the plant to trap sunlight for it to make food in order for photosynthesis to occur. Cell wall is also not present as an animal does not have a regular shape. The function of the cell wall is to help the plant have a regular shape.
Cell wall is also not present as an animal does not have a regular shape. The function of the cell wall is to help the plant have a regular shape.
By definition, animal cells have no cell wall -- only plant cells do. That being said, the major function of the cell wall in plant cells is to control cell pressure due to the influx and exit of water into and out of the cell. Turgor in the plant cell is part of what gives a plant structure and helps it "stand up." Animal cells do not need this characteristic, as they have other mechanisms for maintaining structure and shape.
The cell wall. With this rigid structure plant cells can maintain turgor pressure; the pressure of internalized water pushing out on the cell wall. This pressure in every plant cell keeps the plant erect.
The main component of cell wall is made up of cellulose molecules and its function is to allow substances to pass in and out of the cell membrane freely that is any substance.
The function of the cell membrane in the plant cell is to separate the interior parts of the cell from the cell wall, and to block off what the cell wall can't.
The cell wall gives the plant cell structure and protection.
The cell wall works to hold the plant cell in a rectangular shape. Plants don't have bones so they need the cell wall to hold the plant up.
A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell.
The function of the cell wall is to keep cellular material inside and other material outside.
A cell wall is found in only plant cells and it acts as a double protection for the plant. It has no real function at all

Yes, the main function of the cell wall is to provide support and protection for the plant cell.
Cell wall is also not present as an animal does not have a regular shape. The function of the cell wall is to help the plant have a regular shape.
The main function of a plant cell wall is to give the cell a rigid structure.
Allows the plant cell to maintain a high level of turgid conditions that keep the plant erect.
