Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell wall is a semirigid structure that provides support to the plant cell and determines its shape. The capsule is present in some bacterial cells and is a protective layer that is not found in plant cells. The flagellum is a structure for movement that is not involved in cell shape or support. Cytosol and cytoplasm refer to the liquid content of the cell and do not contribute to its structure.
