What structures give animal cells support?

The cell wall is a rigid covering that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell.

What is the support structure of the cell?

The cell membrane is a double layer of phospholipid molecules. Proteins in the cell membrane provide structural support, form channels for passage of materials, act as receptor sites, function as carrier molecules, and provide identification markers.

Which organelles provide structure and support animal cells?

Lysosomes are the digestive organelles of animal cells. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole. The plant cell wall, whose primary component is cellulose, protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives shape to the cell. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.
