Which part of a plant cell helps to support the plant cell and give it a regular shape?
The cells of plants and various microorganisms are enclosed by a rigid, non-living cell wall, which gives the cell its shape and provides protection. In plants this wall is composed largely of cellulose. The cell wall has many small openings that allow the free passage of materials to and from the cell membrane. Thin strands of cytoplasm sometime extended through the wall adjacent cells, possibly allowing the direct passage of materials from one cell to another. The cell wall is not found in human cellls (animal cells) but is found in plant cells. The cell wall non living material that supports a plant cell. It is a rigid layer and a box like shape.
