The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and provides the cell tensile strength and protection. Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells.

Protein Recycling via Endosomes Some proteins in the plant plasma membrane are constantly cycled in and out of the membrane. These proteins are exchanged between the membrane and the "early ...

For example, plants need boron, which is taken into the cells by molecules known as the boric acid channel. But how do the proteins that form the channel make it to the plasma membrane?
