2a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell86 sets
3a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms55 sets
4strong supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria44 sets
5a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell32 sets
6strong wall outside a plant cell's plasma membrane that protects the cell and maintains its shape29 sets
7a rigid structure that surrounds the cells of plants and most bacteria27 sets
8outer, nonliving part of a plant cell24 sets
9supports and protects the cell23 sets
10a rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.22 sets
11rigid structure that encloses, supports, and protects the cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria14 sets
12a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell, strong layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria14 sets
13strong layer around the cell membrane13 sets
14a protective layer external to the plasma membrane in plant cells, bacteria, fungi, and some protists. in plant cells, the wall is formed of cellulose fibers embedded in a polysaccharide-protein matrix. the primary cell wall is thin and flexible, whereas the secondary cell wall is stronger and more rigid and is the primary constituent of wood.13 sets
15a rigid layer that lies outside the cell's plasma membrane13 sets
16shapes and supports a plant cell13 sets
17provides structure and support around cell membrane of plants, fungi, and some bacteria12 sets
18a rigid structure on the outside of certain cells, usually plant and bacteria cells12 sets
19protects and supports the cell10 sets
20the definite boundary or wall that is part of the outer structure of certain cells, as a plant cell.9 sets
21provides support and shape for plant cells9 sets
22the structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support for the cell9 sets
23protects the plant cell and maintains its shape8 sets
24rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms8 sets
25a stiff outer layer that helps keep plant cells firm8 sets
26provides support and protection for the cell8 sets
27rigid layer that lies outside the cell's plasma membrane8 sets
28a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell.7 sets
29fairly rigid structure located outside the plasma membrane of plants, fungi, most bacteria, and some protists; provides support and protection.7 sets
