Question
what is the main function of the cell wall in a plant cell? to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use to give the cell its fixed shape to make lipids to make proteins
The cell wall in a plant cell is a rigid structure. It surrounds the cell membrane. One of its main roles is to provide structural support. This support helps the plant cell maintain a fixed shape. For example, it allows plant stems to stand upright. Breaking down sugar (mitochondria), making lipids (smooth endoplasmic reticulum), and making proteins (ribosomes) are functions of other cell organelles, not the cell wall.
