Which of the following statements is true about the cell wall of plant cells?

Question

Once formed, the cell wall does not allow the cell to grow.

It provides a structural framework for cells.

It is made of phospholipids.

It is a flexible barrier that directly surrounds the nucleus of plant cells.

Answer 1

The statement that is true about the cell wall of plant cells is:

It provides a structural framework for cells.

The other statements are incorrect because:

• Once formed, the cell wall does allow for growth, although this growth is regulated through the expansion of the cell wall.
• The cell wall is primarily made of cellulose, not phospholipids.
• The cell wall does not surround the nucleus; instead, it is located outside the cell membrane. The nucleus itself is surrounded by a nuclear envelope.
