Diagram of the plant cell, with the cell wall in green. Cell walls serve similar purposes in those organisms that possess them. They may give cells rigidity and strength, offering protection against mechanical stress. The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the cell wall are linked with plant cell growth and morphogenesis. [11]
The structure of peptidoglycan Bacterial cell walls. The cell envelope is composed of the cell membrane and the cell wall.As in other organisms, the bacterial cell wall provides structural integrity to the cell.
The bacterial cell wall differs from that of all other organisms by the presence of peptidoglycan (poly-N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid), which is located immediately outside of the cytoplasmic membrane. Peptidoglycan is responsible for the rigidity of the bacterial cell wall and for the determination of cell shape. It is ...
Labeled diagram showing differences in the outer cell walls of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria cell walls. British English A labelled diagram showing the differences in outercell layers between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...
English: A simple diagram of a yeast cell, labelled in English. It shows the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, and vacuole.

The secondary cell wall is a structure found in many plant cells, located between the primary cell wall and the plasma membrane.The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1]
