Hanging Plant Wall Cell Structure

Secondary cell walls are responsible for most of the plant s mechanical support as well as the mechanical properties prized in wood in contrast to the permanent stiffness and load bearing capacity of thick secondary walls the thin primary walls are capable of serving a structural supportive.

Hanging plant wall cell structure. The plant cell vol. The image above represents a plant cell wall the cell wall is the outermost covering of plant cells. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and consists of thousands of glucose monomers that form long chains. The middle lamella serves as a cementing layer between the primary walls of adjacent cells.

It also has structural proteins in smaller amounts and some minerals such as silicon. In many fungi the cell wall is formed of chitin and in bacteria the cell wall contains protein lipid polysaccharide complexes. In plant cells the cell wall is made up of cellulose hemicellulose pectin and protein. While all plant cells have a middle lamella and primary cell wall not all have a secondary cell wall.

Diagram of cell wall. The plant cell wall is multi layered and consists of up to three sections. 5 9 23 january 1993 o 1993 american society of plant physiologists review article structure and function of plant cell wall proteins allan m. All of these components are vital parts of the cell wall.

It is mainly composed of cellulose long fibres of carbohydrates including hemicellulose lignin and pectin. The secret of how fibre shapes the structure of plant cell walls has been revealed with potentially wide ranging applications ranging from nutrition and health to agriculture. All cell walls contain two layers the middle lamella and the primary cell wall and many cells produce an additional layer called the secondary wall. Showalter department of environmental and plant biology molecular and cellular biology program ohio university athens.

From the outermost layer of the cell wall these layers are identified as the middle lamella primary cell wall and secondary cell wall. A plant cell wall consists primarily of carbohydrates like pectins cellulose and hemicellulose.
