The main function of the cell wall is to:
-
Support and protect the cell
-
Store DNA
-
Help the cell move
-
Direct the activities of the cell
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells, bacteria, fungi, and some protists. Its main function is to provide support and protection to the cell. It helps maintain the shape of the cell and prevents it from bursting or collapsing under osmotic pressure. Additionally, the cell wall acts as a physical barrier, protecting the cell from mechanical damage and pathogens. Therefore, the correct answer is "Support and protect the cell."
