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

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  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

Gaucher disease is the most common of lipid storage diseases in humans. It is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme necessary for the breakdown of lipids. This leads to the accumulation of fatty material in organs of the body including the spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, and bone marrow. Using your knowledge of the structure of eukaryotic cells, identify the statement below that best explains how internal membranes and the organelles of cells may be involved in Gaucher disease.
