cytoplasm
● __ is a rigid structure that
surrounds the cell membrane.
● It helps maintain the shape of cells and
prevent them from bursting.
Cell wall
Not found in animal cells (including humans).
Cell wall
Plants → cell wall made of mesh-like, __ fibers
cellulose
Fungi → cell wall made of ___
chitin
Bacteria → cell wall made of __-
peptidoglycan (capsule)
____ help maintain the shape of cells and prevent bursting when water enters the cell.
