On most bicycles, the tires include a separate inner tube inside the tire itself. when the inner tube is inflated, often to pressure greater than 100 pounds per square inch, it does not burst because the walls of the tire support it. without the tire, the inner tube would burst long before such high pressures were reached. similarly, the cytoplasm of plant cells in hypotonic conditions is under relatively high osmotic pressure. however, the cells do not lyse (or burst) due to the presence of the _ that provides structural support for the _.

However, the cells do not burst due to the presence of the CELL WALL that provided structural support for the CELL.
The cell wall is a cell organelle that is found in plant cells only. It serves as a sort of skeleton to the cell because it gives rigidity and structural support to the cells. The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane and it is made up of cellulose. It also gives protection to the plant cells.
