The function of cell wall in prokaryotes is:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. To give cells rigidity
- B. To give specific shape
- C. To protect from osmotic lysis
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The cell wall provides structural support to the cell, preventing it from collapsing under its internal pressure. It also determines the shape of the cell, which can vary depending on the species of prokaryote. The cell wall also prevents the cell from bursting due to the osmotic pressure of the surrounding environment. All of these are characteristics of the cell wall.
