Answer:

bacterial cells maintain their shape with cell wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacterial cells have an amazing way of maintaining their shapes using the cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid structure found in some animals and plants. The bacteria are bounded by a cell wall containing mucoproteins.

The cell wall allows selective entry of materials into the cell but is fully permeable to materials in solution. In plants, it gives them a define shape as well as providing mechanical support and protection against mechanical injury.
