What is a structure outside the plasma membrane and gives support to some cells?
This structure is called a cell wall and it is found in plant cells and bacteria cells.
Why do onion cells have cell walls?
Onion cells have cell walls because they are part of the kingdom plantae and they need the cell wall for support and structure.
What structure is resonsible for the box-like shape of most plant cells?
Cellulose is what the structure of plant cells are made of. It gives the plant a tough box-ike structure to give the plant strength to grow. Termites and animals such as cows can digest cellulose. Otherwise humans use it for making paper or fabrics like cotton.
What does the cell wall in the plant cells do for plants?
The cell wall protects and supports the plant cell. but IS NOT the same thing as the cell membrane .
What is the function of the animal cell wall?
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.
Are the similarities plant and animal cells?
The plant and animal cell are similar because the cell gives it it's structure.
Why do plant cells have cell wall?
It gives a structure and protects the inner cells from the external environment.
Why do plant cells have cell plants?
It gives a structure and protects the inner cells from the external environment.
What is plant cells outer structure that gives added support?
cell wall
Why do plant cells have a cell and animal cell does not?
Becuse plant cells need structure and the cell wall gives it that and it also gives it a defined shape and animals have spines instead so it is not needed/used.
What does the cell wal do?
The cell wall gives a plant cell shape and structure. Animal cells do not have walls, they have membranes.

What is a structure outside the plasma membrane and gives support to some cells?
This structure is called a cell wall and it is found in plant cells and bacteria cells.
The cells of plants and algae have a?
Only plant cells have: -chloroplasts (for photosynthesis) -cell walls (gives them their rigid structure)
What are all the borders that are found in plant cells?
The borders are known scientifically as the cell wall. This gives the cells structure. Because they are plants, and have no bones or exoskeleton, the cell walls give the plant structure also.
Why do onion cells have cell walls?
Onion cells have cell walls because they are part of the kingdom plantae and they need the cell wall for support and structure.
What structure serves to provide strength and support to the plant cell?
Support and structure of plant cells is primarily derived from the cell wall. This is a semi-permeable rigid structure surrounds each cell (on the outside of the cell membrane).Secondary support comes from the (fluid filled) vacuoles within each cell, which provide "turgor pressure".The cell wallExplanation...The cell wall is a strong, rigid structure that surrounds, protects and gives shape to plant cells.------------------------------------------------------------------
