cell walls are essential and are important features of plant cells that perform a number of essential functions. Which of the following are not the characteristics of a cell wall?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Cells are glued together by their walls, preventing cell sliding, slippage, and motility
  2. The cell wall acts as a cellular “exoskeleton” that controls cell shape and allows high turgor pressures to develop
  3. cell wall acts as a diffusion barrier that exceeds the size and kinds of molecules that can reach the plasma membrane, both through sieving effects and through ionic and covalent interactions
  4. sensory proteins are partly anchored in the cell wall and form a bridge to the plasma membrane
