The composition of cell walls varies significantly between species and may depend on cell type and developmental stage:

  • Land plants, the primary cell wall is composed of the polysaccharides cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Often, other polymers such as lignin, suberin or cutin are anchored to or embedded in plant cell walls.
  • Algae, the cell wall is made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides such as carrageenan and agar that are absent from land plants.
  • Bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan.
  • Archaea, the cell wall has various compositions, and may be formed of glycoprotein S-layers, pseudopeptidoglycan, or polysaccharides.
  • Fungi, the cell wall is made of the glucosamine polymer chitin.
  • Diatoms, unusually have a cell wall composed of biogenic silica.
