Answer the following question given this paragraph: A cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell. The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides as well. In fact, two other classes of polysaccharides, hemicelluloses and pectic polysaccharides, can comprise 30% of the dry mass of the cell wall. The cell wall provides structural support and protection. Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell. The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell. Q: What is the rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell? Choices: - cell barrier - cell shield - cell root - cell wall A:
The answer to this question is:
