The thin structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell is called as cell membrane. This is present in most plant, animal and fungi cells. It is a selectively permeable structure and allows the flow of ions and particles from the inside of the cell to the outside and vice-versa. However plant cells, in addition to the cell membrane also have the cell wall outside the cell membrane. This provides mechanical rigidity to the cell and prevents the flow of larger particles.

What protects and supports the plant cell?
Turgidty protects the plant and give it support
What part of the plant contains cellulose?
The only part of the cell that is made of cellulose is the rigid cell wall. The cell wall is a protective outer covering(only in plant cells) that protects the cell from many things, such as weather conditions etc.
Rigid layer that surrounds a plant cell providing structural support?
The cell wall. In plants, the cell wall is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. This helps the cell maintain rigidity, and also prevents bursting if excess amounts of water enter the cell.
Describe the microscopic and functional organization of a cell?
The nucleus of a cell is the power source or brain, every cell has one there are two types of cells- an animal cell and a plant cell: An animal cell has a cell membrane, a cytoplasm which is the covering of the cell, stored food, a mitachondria used for breathing and a small vacuole which contains water orother substances A plant cell has a cell wall which surrounds it and gives it shape and support, a cytoplasm, large vacuole, choroplasts which make and store food, a mitachondria
The watery medium that surrounds a cell is known as?
The watery medium with various organelles inside of cells is called cytoplasm. The watery medium that surrounds a cell is known as intracellular fluid. There is no such thing as a watery medium that surrounds cells that contains various organelles.
What surrounds and protects a plant cell?
A cell wall surrounds and protects a plant cell.
What surrounds and protects a cell?
A cell wall surrounds and protects a plant cell.
How many cell membranes are there in each cell?
1, the cell membrane surrounds the cell and protects it. It is found in both plant and animal cells.
What is a stiff layer of nonliving materials that surrounds a plant cell?
This layer is called a cell wall,
What structure surrounds the cell and provides support?
In a plant cell, its the cell wall, an animal cell does not have a cell wall so its the cell membrane
What protects the nucleus in a cell?
Nuclear membrane is a thin membrane surrounds and protects the nucleus.
