The reason being why plants stand straight and tall is due to the rigid-like structure.

When water is absorbed and transported through the xylem, it is then disbursed throughout the structure; into the cells.

The cell is equipped with a very unique organelle which gives a cell its structural support. This organelle is known as the "vacuole."

The vacuole fills up with water, pushing against the wall of a cell, giving it both structure and rigidity.

What of the following molecules form cellulose which gives plants structure?

Glucose molecules form cellulose, which gives plants structure. Multiple glucose molecules join together through dehydration synthesis to form long chains of cellulose. These chains then arrange themselves into microfibrils that provide strength and rigidity to plant cell walls.

What are the protective structures of plants?

Plants have protective structures such as thorns, spines, and prickles to deter herbivores from feeding on them. Some plants also produce toxic compounds or have hairy surfaces to discourage herbivory. Additionally, certain plants use chemical defenses like producing compounds that repel insects or pathogens.


What is the purpose of the cell wall in the plant?

It provides rigidity to the cell. It provides support and gives definite shape to the cell. It is a characteristic of plant cell as as plants cannot move from one place to another to protect themselves from harsh conditions it protects the cell.
