What advantage is the cell wall in relationship to osmotic pressure

plant, bacteria, and fungus cells have cell walls; animal cells do not. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. ... The cell wall helps the cell membrane maintain its shape and keeps the cell from bursting. When a cell is full of water and putting pressure on the cell wall it is said to be turgid.

The advantage of cell wall in relationship to osmotic pressure is that the cell wall protects the cell from osmotic shock or osmotic lysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is a process which takes place across the semipermeable membrane or the plasma membrane in the cell , the solvent on both the sides of the plasma membrane moves across the membrane to maintain the concentration of the solute.

This osmotic pressure can sometimes vary a lot, causing the cell to burst. A cell wall maintains this and keeps the cell stable.
