Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of cell walls: Cell walls provide structural support and protection to the cell. They are found in plant cells, fungal cells, and bacterial cells, but not in animal cells.
Identify the composition of cell walls in different organisms: Plant cell walls are primarily composed of cellulose, which is a strong and rigid material. Fungal cell walls are made of chitin, and bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan.
Compare the thickness and rigidity of cell walls: Plant cell walls are generally thicker and more rigid compared to fungal and bacterial cell walls due to the high cellulose content.
Consider the role of cell walls in plants: The thick cell walls in plants help maintain cell shape, prevent excessive water uptake, and provide mechanical support for the plant to stand upright.
Conclude that plant cells typically have thicker cell walls compared to fungal and bacterial cells, as animal cells do not have cell walls at all.
