Best Answer

In Plants:

Basically, cell walls contain CELLULOSE. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a carbohydrate (am macro molecule). Cellulose forms linear chains that join together to form microfibrils. These microfibrils form alternating layers. These layers of lattices are held together by hydrogen bonds, giving the cell wall strength. In fungi: Cell walls have CHITIN. In Bacteria: Bacteria cell walls contain PEPTIDOGLYCAN, formed by cross-linked polysaccharide chains.
