Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell wall provides rigidity to the plant cell, so without it, the protoplast would be less rigid than the original plant cell.

Answer: A and D are incorrect. The protoplast would not contain cellulose because the cell wall, which is what contains cellulose, has been removed. The protoplasts would not be able to form middle lamellae with other protoplasts because the middle lamellae are formed by the pectin in the cell walls, which have been removed.
