A cell wall is a fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell, located external to the cell membrane, that provides the cell with structural support, protection, and a filtering mechanism. The cell wall also prevents over-expansion when water enters the cell. They are found in plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. Animals and most protists do not have cell walls.

A cell wall:
1. Gives a cell its shape
2. Helps support the cell
3. Protects the cell's contents from minor physical impact

Most importantly, the cell wall provides structural support, as well as protection and filtration of certain subtances. It also prevents an overflow of water entering the cell, an event that would normally force the cell to explode if the cell wall didn't exist. The cell wall itself is located external to the plasma membrane and are present in plants, bacteria, and archaea, fungi, and some algae.

A cell wall is used to prevent UN-wanted thing form getting into a cell. It is mainly in plant that you would find a cell wall.

fat are used to make cellular membranes now not cellular partitions. All residing cells have a cellular membrane. cellular partitions are present day in all cells different than animal cells, the cellular partitions of flowers and algae are made up of cellulose, fungi of chitin, micro organism of peptidoglycans and archaea of proteins. fat in cellular membranes are present day as phospholipids that are made up of an significant glycerol molecule related to 2 fatty acid molecules and a phosphate team this is (oftentimes) in flip related to a different lipid molecule e.g sphingosine or choline.

helps structural support and helps protection from mechanical(physical) damage. also stops the cell popping in high water concentrations and the vacuole is swelled
