The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the cell wall is not just a structural component but also plays a dynamic role in the cell. - This implies that the cell wall has functions beyond providing shape and support. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that the cell wall aids in cell-to-cell interaction and acts as a barrier to undesirable macromolecules. - This indicates that the cell wall is involved in communication between cells and protects the cell from harmful substances. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The cell wall is indeed a structural component, providing rigidity and shape to the cell. - However, it also has dynamic roles such as facilitating communication between cells and regulating what enters or exits the cell. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason is correct as the cell wall does help in cell-to-cell interactions through structures like plasmodesmata in plant cells. - It also acts as a barrier, preventing harmful macromolecules from entering the cell. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are correct. - The reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion, as it highlights the dynamic roles of the cell wall beyond its structural function. 6. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
