B) cellulose
C) secondary compounds
D) sporopollenin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sporopollenin is a tough and resistant polymer found in the outer layer of plant spores, providing structural integrity and protection from harsh environmental conditions. Lignin and cellulose are also important structural components of plants, but they do not specifically contribute to the structural integrity of spores. Secondary compounds refer to a wide range of chemicals found in plants for various purposes and may or may not contribute to structural integrity.
