How many of the given statements regarding cell wall are true?
I: A non-living rigid structure called the cell wall forms an outer covering for the plasma membrane of fungi and plants.
II: Cell wall not only gives shape to the cell and protects the cell from mechanical damage and infection, it also helps in cell-to-cell interaction and provides barrier to undesirable macromolecules.
III: Algae have cell wall, made of cellulose, galactans, mannans and minerals like calcium carbonate, while in other plants it consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins.
IV: The cell wall of a young plant cell, the primary wall is capable of growth.
V: The secondary wall is formed on the outer (towards middle lamella) side of the cell.
