In this article we will discuss about the process of thickening of cell wall in plants, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. The cell plate separates the two protoplast of a dividing cell. The cell plate gives rise to the middle lamella upon which the wall materials are laid down to form primary wall. During cell growth, each daughter [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of a cell wall in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of cell wall in plants. Gross Structure of Cell Wall: A plant cell may consist of either primary wall only or the cell may contain both primary and secondary walls (Fig. 3.1). i. Primary [...]
The following points highlight the top seven functions of cell wall in the life of a plant. The functions are: 1. Gives Mechanical Strength 2. Maintains Cell Shape 3. Controls Cell Expansion 4. Controls Intercellular Transport 5. Protects Against Infective Organisms 6. Cell Wall has Signalling Device against Attack of Microorganism 7. Acts as a Reservoir of Food. Function # [...]
