The answer is the second one: prevent the cell from bursting.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Prevent wastes from entering the cell: This is not the primary function of the cell wall. The cell wall is more about providing structure and support rather than selectively allowing substances in or out, which is more the role of the cell membrane.

  2. Prevent the cell from bursting: This is correct. The cell wall provides structural support and rigidity, which helps prevent the cell from bursting when it takes in water. This is particularly important in plant cells, which often experience changes in water pressure.

  3. Store nutrients: The cell wall does not store nutrients. Its main role is structural support. Nutrient storage is typically a function of other cellular components, such as vacuoles.

  4. Contain components for cellular respiration: Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria, not in the cell wall. The cell wall does not play a role in this process.

In summary, the primary function of the cell wall is to provide structural support and prevent the cell from bursting, especially in plant cells.

When the demand for smartphones increased in Preteresia, a country in Eastern Europe, the smartphone manufacturers started importing silicon, a raw material used in the manufacture of smartphones, from Abresia, a country in Africa. In return, Preteresia helped build Abresia's infrastructure to facilitate the efficient extraction of silicon. This scenario best illustrates market segmentation monopolization global convergence centralization
