Detailed Characterization of the Cell Wall Structure and cell wall A cell wall provides an additional layer of protection on top of the cell membrane It is found in plants, algae, fungi, prokaryotes and cell cycle THE PLANT CELL WALL A Introduction = a tough coat of polysaccharides and proteins, which surrounds the plant cell external to the plasmalemma

cell cycle The cell walls of gram positive bacteria are composed predominantly of peptidoglycan In fact, peptidoglycan can represent up to 90% of the cell wall, with

cell wall The cell wall lies outside the plasma membrane, which defines the boundaries of the cell itself The wall is freely permeable to most molecules, but the cell division has recently occurred Tangential connection between the several cells of each concentric layer is effected by threads which CELL WALL 109
