Cell Wall Im constantly working, 24/7. I want a
break!! August 27, 2011
Vacuole Thanks for helping me out with turgor to
provide a plant with hydraulic stiffness and
growth!! ?
Friends
Cell Wall is undergoing a Gram Stain in a
bacterial cell! If I have a lot of peptidoglycan,
I will stain a dark purple and be gram positive.
If I stain a light purple, I dont have as much
peptidoglycan and will be gram negative. July 20,
2011

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME

• MADE OF
• Plant cells
• Polysaccharides (cellulose, hemicellulose,
  pectin)
• Glycoproteins
• Phenolic esters (ferulic and coumaric acids)
• Minerals (calcium and boron)
• Enzymes
• Lignin (only found in secondary cell walls)
• Bacterial cells
• Peptidoglycan (sugars, and amino acids, amount
  differs for each kind of bacteria)
• Polymer (N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl muramic
  acid, amino acids)
• FUNCTION
• - Protects everything inside the cell
• - Provides rigidity to plants
• - Regulates growth of plants and protects it from
  disease
• Provides a porous area for the distribution of
  water and other nutrients
• Prevents cell from bursting due to osmotic stress

• MISCELLANEOUS
• A middle lamella is on the outside of the primary
  wall and connects surrounding cells, allowing
  them to communicate.
• Plant cells have a primary cell wall that moves
  with them as they grow, and once they stop
  growing, they form a more rigid secondary cell
  wall.
• 2 kinds of bacterial cells gram positive
  (single layer) and negative (3 layers)
