Hello! please state the function of the following structures of the cell. cell wall and vacuole
Answers
functions of the cell wall include:
Support: The cell wall provides mechanical strength and support. It also controls the direction of cell growth.
Withstand turgor pressure: Turgor pressure is the force exerted against the cell wall as the contents of the cell push the plasma membrane against the cell wall. This pressure helps a plant to remain rigid and erect, but can also cause a cell to rupture.
Regulate growth: The cell wall sends signals for the cell to enter the cell cycle in order to divide and grow.
Regulate diffusion: The cell wall is porous allowing some substances, including proteins, to pass into the cell while keeping other substances out.
Communication: Cells communicate with one another via plasmodesmata (pores or channels between plant cell walls that allow molecules and communication signals to pass between individual plant cells).
Protection: The cell wall provides a barrier to protect against plant viruses and other pathogens. It also helps to prevent water loss.
Storage: The cell wall stores carbohydrates for use in plant growth, especially in seeds.
These boths are found in plant's cell .
》》Function of the cell wall and vacoules are :
●Cell wall are made up of chitin which helps to Protect the cell organelles, This is semi permeable outer layer of the plant. this gives structure and strength to the cell.
●vacoule : its functions is to storaging .and for long timenfor removal and waste.
