Plant Cells, Chloroplasts, Cell Walls

cell wall  Plant cell walls The cell wall surrounds the plant cell, providing both structure and protection Cells of bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants are surrounded by rigid cell walls, which are an integral part of the cell Although not encased in cell

The enzymatic degradation of the cell wall by either cellulasemacerozyme or endo-1,4-β-d-glucanasehemicellulasepectolyase partially exposed The major carbohydrates making up the primary cell wall are cellulose, pectin and hemicellulose Insoluble cellulose fibers are meshed in to a matrix called

The newly synthesized polysaccharides move from the Golgi lumen to the cell surface via membrane vesicles, which fuse with the plasma membrane, The cellulose microfibril meshwork and associated components of the cell wall such as pectins and hemicelluloses no doubt are appressed directly to the lipid
