Cellulose is the common component of most plant cell walls, and microfibrils of cellulose constitute the reinforcing rods of the wall. This macromolecule consists of unbranched, unsubstituted (1,4 ...

Cell walls are referred to as primary or secondary according to their materials and characteristics. While the cell is still growing it is only surrounded by the elastic and flexible primary cell wall ...

Plants will have a primary cell wall and sometimes a secondary wall as well. These two major parts are what determines the function of each individual plant cell.) Skip to main content. Your ...

Enzymes for cell wall synthesis conserved across species barriers Date: July 14, 2011 Source: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Summary: Plants have neither supportive bone tissue nor muscles, and yet they ...

While the cell is still growing it is only surrounded by the elastic and flexible primary cell wall. When the cell is fully grown, certain types of cells, for example the water transporting ...

Using mouse neuronal cells, the researchers discovered that the BBSome sorts a receptor present on the plasma membrane (cell surface) and targets the receptor to the cilium where it functions.
