- Slide 3
- Function of the Cell Wall plant cells, some bacterial cells,
fungi Rigid, protective layer around plasma membrane 10-100 x
thicker than plasma membrane
- Slide 4
- Function of the Cell Wall Mechanical support for the cell
Maintains shape of plant cells Prevents excess water intake Holds
the plant up against the force of gravity
- Slide 5
- Primary Cell Wall First formed cell wall Outermost layer
Comparatively thin and flexible.
- Slide 6
- Secondary Cell Wall Lays between the plasma membrane and
primary wall Strong and durable Provides cell protection and
support Ex: Wood
- Slide 7
- Middle Lamella Thin layer of sticky polysaccharides (pectins)
Lays between primary cell walls Glues adjacent walls together

- Slide 11
- Plasmodesmata Intercellular cytoplasmic bridges Facilitates
communication Aids in the transport of materials b/w cells Water
Nutrients Signalling molecules Even viruses! (Shhh!!!)
