Answer:

The cell wall

- Is rigid and thick

- Is made of cellulose

- Transports chemicals through plasmodesmata.

Plant cells are made of rigid cell walls made of cellulose. The cell wall is a layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane.

Hope this helped!

a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose.
