Major function of cell wall is to prevent over expansion of the cell, when water enters the cell. It provide strength and structure to the cell.

Cell walls in some plant tissues also function as storage depots. They may store that can be broken down and reabsorbed to supply the metabolic and growth needs of the plant.

The cell wall is essential to the survival of certain as it offers protection against some lytic enzymes of host cells.

The outer part of plant cell wall of epidermis is usually coated with cutin and wax. The cell walls of cork are impregnated with suberin. These provide a permeability barrier.

The walls of the alveoli are composed of two types of cells, type I and type II. What is the function of type I?

Type I alveolar cells are squamous epithelial cells, covering about 90-95% of the alveolar surface. They are thin walled cells and readily permeable, thus enabling an easy exchange between the...

Why does a cell need to maintain its shape? What happens if we take away the cytoskeleton from an animal cell or what happens if we take the cell wall from the plant cell?

The plant cell is far easier to answer. Plant cells, at least in the stem, rely on turgidity to remain straight. The central vacuole exerts pressure on the cell wall,...

A plant's cell wall is made of cellulose fibers. What is the purpose of a plant's cell wall?

Plants do not have bones like some animals do, so they will topple over without bones and a backbone. This is where the role of the cell wall comes in....
