oh ok thank u
You're welcome.
The function of a cell wall is to protect and support the cell, so the correct answer is A) to protect and support the cell.
To arrive at this answer, let's look at the given options and break them down:
A) To protect and support the cell: The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane and provides structural support and protection for the cell. It helps maintain the shape of the cell and prevents it from bursting under pressure.
B) To perform different functions in each cell: Although cellular structures and organelles can have different functions in different types of cells, the cell wall itself has a consistent role across different cell types. It acts as a protective barrier, irrespective of the specific function of the cell.
C) To prevent water from passing through the cell: The cell wall is porous and allows water and other dissolved substances to pass through it. It is the cell membrane that selectively regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
D) To prevent oxygen from entering the cell: The cell wall does not prevent the entry of oxygen into the cell. Oxygen can freely diffuse through the cell wall, reaching the cell membrane where it is selectively transported into the cell.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) to protect and support the cell.
