Plants have cell walls that provide structure and prevent collapsing of the stem/trunk. The cell walls contain a component called lignin which has a high tensile strength, the cwell walls act a bit like scaffolding to keep the plant upright.

Hope this helps.

What is the difference between the basal membrane and the basement membrane in biological structures?

The basal membrane is a specific type of basement membrane found in epithelial tissues. The basement membrane is a thin, sheet-like structure that provides support and separates different tissue layers. The basal membrane is a specialized part of the basement membrane that is located adjacent to the basal surface of epithelial cells.

What are two layers of phospholipid?

The two layers of phospholipids that make up the cell membrane are the hydrophilic head facing outward towards the aqueous environment, and the hydrophobic tail facing inward towards the interior of the membrane. This bilayer structure provides a barrier that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
