a: Cell wall ~
b: sweater
What: "A plant cell wall is like a sweater. Sort of. Dan Cosgrove plucks at his own sweater and laughs. "It's like a fabric …" He abandons the analogy with a shrug. "A plant cell wall is made of interlinking fibers, that's clear." It's a rigid wall, responsible for both the size and the shape of the cell. And yet it has to expand to let the plant grow."

It Surrounds And Give Form To A Point...
a: Cell wall ~
b: the balloon in a water balloon
What: The cell wall is kinda like a the balloon in a water balloon. It surrounds and give form to a liquid center, the water. It can also expand and contract based on the amount of water in the balloon, but only so far. If there is too much water the balloon will explode. If there is little water the balloon will shrivel up to a small clump of rubber material.
