Is the plant cell wall made of cellulose?

Answer 1

The cell wall is the tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

This means it is semi-permeable.

Answer 2

Yes, understanding that there is a difference between a cell membrane (found in both plants and animals and made of lipids), plant cells also have cell walls and these are made out of cellulose a "polysaccharide", a polymer made out sugars (which is are carbohydrates).

Answer 3

Yes, plant cell walls are mainly composed of cellulose, which provides structural support and rigidity to the cells. Additionally, plant cell walls may also contain other components such as hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin.

Answer 4

In plants, the cell wall is made mostly of a strong material (polysaccharide) called, cellulose. Cellulose is wound into microfibrils which provide structural support.

Answer 5

no the cell wall is made from cellulose. Only in stemmed higher plants . in many animals they are proteinaceous!

Answer 6

Yes, the main component of plant cell walls is cellulose. Other major components are hemicellulose and pectin.

Answer 7

Yes,animal cells do not have starch grains

Answer 8

Cell walls are not made of starch. Cell walls are made of cellulose.
