Why do cell walls even after a plant cell dies?
because they smell!
What is found in plant cell walls that account for their strength?
Cellulose. It is so tough even we humans cannot break it down.
Can you clearly see as a structure the cell membrane in check cells and the cell wall inthe onion skin clls?
Yes. If viewed under even a simple light microscope, the cell structure of a cheek cell and the cell walls of an onion cell can clearly be seen.
A Cellulose is?
Cellulose is a molecule, consisting of hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright.
How does the cell membrane and a vacuole work together?
While cell membranes might be around every cell, cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells. Cell wallsare made of specialized sugars called cellulose. Cellulose provides a protected framework for a plant cell to survive. It's like taking a water balloon and putting it in a cardboard box. The balloon is protected from the outside world. Cellulose is called a structural carbohydrate (complex sugar) because it is used in protection and support.Cell walls also help a plant keep its shape. While they do protect the cells, cell walls and cellulose also allow plants to grow to great heights. While you have a skeleton to hold you up, a 100-foot tall redwood tree does not. It uses the strong cell walls to maintain its shape. For smaller plants, cell walls are slightly elastic. Wind can push them over and then they bounce back. Big redwoods need strength in high winds and sway very little (except at the top).Another Hole in the WallA cell wall is not a fortress around the delicate plant cell. There are small holes in the wall that let nutrients, waste, and ions pass through. Those holes are called plasmodesmata. These holes have a problem: water can also be lost. But even when the plant cell loses water, the basic shape is maintained by the cell walls. So if a plant is drooping because it needs water, it can recover when water is added. It will look just the same as when it started.More Than Walls in PlantsYou may hear about cell walls in other areas of biology. Bacteria also have a structure called a cell wall. Fungi and some ptotozoa also have cell walls. They are not the same. Only plant cell walls are made out of cellulose. The other walls might be made from proteins or a substance called chitin. They all serve the same purpose of protecting and maintaining structure, but they are very different molecules.

Compare the primary and secondary cell walls?
the primary wall can still grow with the cell, while once the secondary wall is created the cell can no longer grow. Even after the cell dies, the secondary wall will remain.
Does Fungus have cell walls?
Mushroom cells do have cell walls that are made out of chitin.
What are cell walls made up of?
If you are referring to plant cell walls, then they are made up of primarily cellulose and carbohydrates. Even though carbohydrates do make up cell walls in plants, cellulose (a polymer of glucose {consists of many glucose molecules}) is the primary structural component of a plant cell wall.
Why cell wall is necessary in animal cell?
Cell walls are only found in Plant Cells. So they are not even there to do anything

What type of cell reference is required if a formula containing a cell reference requires that the referenced cell remain the same even if the formula is moved to another cell position?
An absolute reference.
Do virus have cell wall?
What do you think? Of course not right? Viruses do not even have cells, which are regarded as the basic unit of life. Thus, without cells, how will they have cell walls? You would definitely have known the answer with a little research and inference. Stop being lazy.

Why cant an animal cell have a cell wall?
Animal cells have a cell membrane, plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane. Animals (espeacially simple organisms) are motile, having a cell wall restricts movement as cell walls are rigid structures. Imagine if a human cells were to have cell walls, the rigidity of the structure would slow or even impede movement - basically we'd end up like plants pretty much stationary.
An autotrophic unicellular organism with a wall made of glass is most likely an?
It could be a dinoflagellate, they have hard/shiny and even bio-luminescent cell walls
