CELL WALL


What I learned about the Cell Wall:

Main Information:
While I was learning about the cell wall, I thought that it was very self explanatory. Turns out there are things that make up the cell wall that you would never put through your mind. There are lots of little molecules in the cell all that protect the cell, the thing that is self explanatory is that this is a wall for the cell to protect it. Think of it as a fence to a house, you want to be as safe as possible and that is what the cell wall does for the cell, it keeps it safe and determines what can go in or through the cell and what cannot pass through also. The cell wall is made up of a rigid layer of polysaccharides that are lying outside of the plasma membrane. For example it would lay outside of the plasma membrane for plants, fungi, and bacteria. The main component of the cell wall is cellulose. The cell was has to be very flexible and tough because it may pass another cell that is share and that toughness and flexibility will protect the cell that the wall is protecting. For example is we are talking about a cell wall on a plant and it is hailing outside the cell wall can protect the main cell of that plant from any outside interferences, and things may get through but it would do as much damage and have a less chance because of that cell wall helping out a lot. Lastly I wanted to state that the cell wall is present in most prokaryotes.
