Which is a tough and rigid layer that surrounds plant cells, as well as some algal and bacterial cells?

• cell wall

• centriole

• nucleus

• cell membrane

What does it mean for a membrane to be selectively permeable?

• Only certain molecules are allowed to pass through.

• The membrane is rigid and only allows water to pass through.

• All types of molecules are able to pass into the cell.

• The membrane is rigid and nothing can enter or leave the cell.

Consider the cell structure that is shown below.

Which is a function of the structure that is represented in the image?

• controls the movement of substances into and out of cells

• builds proteins from amino acids

• helps in determining plant cell shape

• provides support and protection
