intro
The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells (and some bacteria, fungi, etc.). It provides structural support, giving the cell a definite shape. It also offers protection against mechanical stress and physical damage. Additionally, it helps in maintaining turgor pressure within the cell. When water enters the cell by osmosis, the cell wall resists excessive expansion of the cell, preventing it from bursting.
