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.

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Centrosome is an organelle usually containing two cylindrical structures called centrioles.
2. Both the centrioles in a centrosome lie parallel to each other in which each
has an organisation like the cartwheel.
3. Centrioles are made up of nine evenly spaced peripheral fibrils of tubulin protein
where each of the peripheral fibril is a triplet.
4. The central part of the proximal region of the centriole is also proteinaceous and called the hub.
