Cell Wall
One of the most important distinguishing features of plant cells is the presence of a cell wall. The relative rigidity of the cell wall renders plants sedentary, unlike animals, whose lack of this type of… More »
Cell wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cell wall is a tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and pro...

The plant cell wall is a remarkable structure. It provides the most significant difference between plant cells and other eukaryotic cells. The cell wall is rigid (up to many micrometers in thickness) and gives plant cells a very defined shape.

Plant cells are usually enclosed by a more or less rigid cell wall containing cellulose. Only a few algae as well as some protists and endosperm cells have no cell wall. Some algal groups contain other structural substances than cellulose.

Description of the plant cell wall. ... Prokaryotic cells and plant cells both have a rigid cell wall made up of polysaccharides. The cell wall provides and maintains the shape of these cells and serves as a protective barrier.

The cell wall is found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. This is the outermost layer in the plant cell. It is stiff, rigid, nonliving, and made of cellulose. It provides support so that the plant can grow tall and protection.
