Answer 2

A cell wall is a structural layer that encloses some cells. Cell walls are usually situated outside the cell, and they can be rigid, firm or flexible. A cell wall protects the cell, gives it shape, and also functions as a filtering mechanism. Cell walls are found in plants, fungi, and in most prokaryotes.
