Plasma Membrane: It is the outer covering of each cell. Present in cells of plants, animals and microorganisms. It is a living and quite thin, flexible and selectively permeable membrane.

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

Heterogeneity in the polysaccharide constituents of plant cell walls has been recognized since the earliest chemical analyses of isolated wall preparations. Clear and dramatic differences in ...

One of the most fundamental differences between animal and plant cells is the cell wall—a rigid structure surrounding the plant cells. The cell wall provides strength and structural support ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts ... proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly and ...

There are many different types of cells in plants. Each type is specialised to do a particular role and ensures that the organism functions as a whole. The root hair cell has a large surface area ...
