Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Plant cells contain a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose

Cellulose forms an integral part of the cell wall which provides strength and rigidity to the cell. It helps to maintain the structural integrity of a particular cell. Cellulose is a complex polysaccharide which is made up of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
