I need information on the Cell Wall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A membrane of the cell that forms external to the cell membrane whose main role is to give cells rigidity, strength and protection against mechanical stress. It is found in cells of plants, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae. Animals and most protists do not have cell walls. http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Cell_wall

plant cells have an additional tough structure, called the cell wall,that envelopes the cell membrane.the cell wall provides additional support and protection to the plant cell,giving it rigidity. the strong cell wall allows the plant to grow upright.
