Answer: i can help

Explanation:

1. If the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis.

2. The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.

3. Therefore if an animal cell had a cell wall, it would not be able to do all of its usual activities and having a cell wall in animal cells would make them stiff and not do any of these activities.

4. In stressful conditions such as drought and high temperature, a plant cell's chloroplasts can become damaged and produce harmful reactive oxygen species.

5. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
