What is the rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds plant cells called? Cell Wall
What are cell walls made of? Cellulose
Which cell has a cell wall? A plant cell, an animal cell or both? A plant cell.
What passes through the cell wall? Water and oxygen.
What is the function of the cell wall? It helps protect and support the cell.
Where is the cell membrane located in cells that have cell walls? Just inside the cell wall.
Where is the cell membrane located in cells that DO NOT have cell walls? Outside the boundary that separates the cell from its environment.
Where are ribosomes made? In the nucleolus.
What contains the instructions that direct the functions of the cell? Chromatin
Materials pass in and out of what through pores in the nuclear envelope? The Nucleus
