The cell wall:
- Surrounds the cell and gives it support and protection
- Is roughly rectangular in shape
- Is only found in around plant cells also around bacteria, fungi and algae but not around animal cells
- Is lined inside by a semipermeable cell membrane
- Is rigid, but still flexible
- The plant cell wall is mainly comprised of cellulose (a carbohydrate)

∙ 15y agoA cell wall is a tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell, located external to the cell membrane, which provides the cell with structural support, protection, and acts as a filtering mechanism. a rigid layer of polysaccharides enclosing the membrane of plant and prokaryotic cells; maintains the shape of the cell and serves as a protective layer.

∙ 14y agoThis is the rigid layer that protects the cell surface membrane and it also gives the cell its shape, this is found in the plant cell.

Define between plant cell and animal cell?
A plant cell has a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane and (most of the time) chloroplasts. An animal cell only has a nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane.
What is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?
The cell wall supports and protects the plant cell.
What part of the cell is strong and stiff and hard to get through and only found in plants?
The cell wall.But it is not only found in plants, both bacteria and fungi have cell walls too.
What structure is outside the cell membrane?
For plant cells, there is a cell wall outside of the cell's membrane. Animal cells do not have walls, so there is no structure outside of the cell membrane.
What is the job for the cell wall in a cell?
A cell wall protects the cell.
5 How did Schultz define a cell?
he defined the cell as a nucleic mass with or without a cell wall
Cant cell wall be define as tiny rectangullar room?
In a way, yes.
Why is the cell wall absent in animal cell?
1) Define cell wall; 2) Animal cells are covered by a sugar-protein coat; 3) Animal cells are surrounded and protected by other Animal cells;

What protects the plants cell?
cell wall

The cell wall.But it is not only found in plants, both bacteria and fungi have cell walls too.
Where is the cell wall located in an animal?
There is no cell wall in a animal cell but there is a cell wall in the plant cell.
What specific cell part is all remains of the cell?
the cell wall
What organelle is responsible for protecting the plant cell?
The Cell wall. It supports the cell and protects it from anything that can damage the cell.
What structure is outside the cell membrane?
For plant cells, there is a cell wall outside of the cell's membrane. Animal cells do not have walls, so there is no structure outside of the cell membrane.
What does a plant cell wall and animal cell wall have in common?
An animal cell does not have a cell wall.
