- selective membrane

Answer 1

I know that some plant cells are made from cellulose, and one of the main goals of the cell wall is to strengthen and support the cell. So, I think, the answer(s) are: cellulose and increased strength to the cell. I hope this could help!

Answer 2

The right options are;

- cellulose

- increased strength to the cell

A cell wall is a hard, outer, structural layer situated outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, bacteria, and fungi. Cell walls in algae and higher plants are usually composed of cellulose. The cell wall protects the cell, and also gives it structural support. The cell wall also allows the release of substances such as oxygen out of the cell, and the direct movement of substances such as water, and carbon dioxide into the cell.
