Question #1
The plant cell wall is primarily composed of which of the following?
A. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, and Pectin
B. Silica and Calcium
C. Proteins and Lipids
D. Chitin and Peptidoglycan

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The plant cell wall is primarily made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, and proteins. Cellulose provides the main structural framework, while hemicellulose and pectins help in cross-linking and providing flexibility. Chitin is found in fungal cell walls, and peptidoglycan is found in bacterial cell walls.
