What chemical makes up cork?

Chemical substance present in cork?
The most important component of cork is suberin.
What cells are impervious?
i am not a master in biology but something i know that in plants the bark cells are impervious to gases and water as they have a chemical called suberin on their walls.
Why does a cork cell appear empty under a microscope?
The stems of woody plants have an outer layer called bark. Bark contains layers of dead cells called cork. Plant cells have a non-living cell wall surrounding the living contents (cytoplasm, nucleus etc). The cells walls of the cork cells contain a waxy material called suberin. This is waterproof and so reduces the loss of water from the stem. However suberin also prevents the cork cells from obtaining water, so the living contents of the cells die and disintegrate, leaving the empty cell walls. So, when Hooke observed cork cells they were empty because they had lost their living contents and all he was seeing were the cell walls.

What is the waxy substance associated with the wall of the cork cells in plant?
Suberin and Lignin
What is suberin?
Suberin is rubbery and waxy substance from the Cork Oak and is found in higher plants. They help prevent water loss in the plant.

What insects eat cork oak?
There are actually not insects that eat cork oak. This is because the cork oak is insect resistant due to its suberin.
Definition of impormable membrane?
I impermeable membranes I think are these which dont allow the entry of even the solvent molecules and that kinna example can be seen in the plants. The cells with suberin and lignin covering act as impermeable membrane and do not allow water molecules to tranport through it. by:deathkiddah ^^
