Question

2 which statement describes a primary function of the cell wall of a plant cell? the cell wall provides structural support. the cell wall manufactures proteins. the cell wall stores dna. the cell wall performs photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The cell wall of a plant cell is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane. One of its main functions is to provide structural support and protection to the plant cell. This helps the plant maintain its shape and withstand various environmental conditions.

• Proteins are manufactured by ribosomes (associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells), not the cell wall.
• DNA is stored in the nucleus of a plant cell (in eukaryotic cells), not in the cell wall.
• Photosynthesis is performed by chloroplasts (organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll), not by the cell wall.

Answer:

The cell wall provides structural support.
