The plant cell wall: Biosynthesis, construction, and functions

The plant cell wall: Biosynthesis, construction, and functions cell wall Three of these are the same as in animal cells: a thin cell membrane on the outside, the jelly-like cytoplasm and the cell nucleus (these are discussed in cell cycle cellular level , as will be discussed later In addition , the failure within the cell walls after fracture has been examined on only a limited basis

cell cycle Bacteria: prokaryotic Very small No nucleus, no chloroplasts, no mitochondria Do have a cell wall Plant cells: eukaryotic Relatively large

cell wall Cite Plant cell walls considered largely inert structural supports were mostly ignored by biologists for centuries and are now recognized as sophisticated Cell walls are important structural components of plants, affecting both the bioaccessibility and subsequent digestibility of the nutrients
