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.

The cell wall is assembled in place. Precursor components are synthesized inside the cell and then assembled by enzymes associated with the cell membrane (Figure 3). Plant cells additionally ...

Channels in plant cell walls, called plasmodesmata, provide molecules with a bridge to move between cells, an essential ...

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.
