What is a rigid structure that protects plant cells and helps them keep shape?

Cell walls give rigidity to plant cells and a few non-plants such as yeast and diatoms. They are called unicellular prokaryotes with cell walls. Silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule is the cell wall of diatoms and fungal cells like yeast.

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 Supports and protects plant cells.?
Turgidty protects the plant and give it support
Which structure is not unique to plant cells?
The nucleus is a structure not unique to plant cells.
How does the structure of cells near the apical meristem compare with the structure of cells far from the apical meristem?
Cell division takes place at the meristem, so these cells may be undifferentiated. The meristem helps the plant grow.
Which structure are common to both plant cells and animal cells?
Both plant nd animal cells have:Cell surface membraneCytoplasmNucleus(GCSE and above: mitochondrion)(ribosomes, represented as small dots)Hope this helps :)
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?

What prevents a fungi cell from bursting?
Like plant cells, the cells of fungi contain a cell wall, a support structure which protects the cells in multiple ways including the prevention of cell lysis or the bursting of cells. Unlike plant cells, however, fungal cells are composed of chitin.

Why are plant cells square and animal cells round?
Plant cells have a cell wall,which forms a shape for the cell.=As for the animal cell,they do not have a cell wall which enables them to have a undefined shape. Also this helps the structure of the cell to keep strong. This structure is stronger and a plant cell needs all the extra protection it can get.=
