It depends on what kind of cell you are talking about. Plant cells have cellulose in their walls that make them rigid. Bacteria have peptidoglycan. Archaea have a couple of possibilities: glycoproteins, pseudopeptidoglycan or polysaccharides. Fungi have chitin that make them pretty rigid. And, algae can have glycoproteins, polysaccharides or silicic acid.
What else can I help you with?
Is chitin inorganic?
No, chitin is a natural biopolymer classified as an organic compound. It is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, as well as in the cell walls of fungi.
What kind of cell types usually has a rigid cell wall?
Collenchymatous cells have rigid cell wall
The substance that strengthens and waterproofs cell walls is?
The substance that strengthens and waterproofs cell walls is called lignin. Lignin is a complex polymer that provides structural support to plant cells and helps to make the cell walls rigid and impermeable to water.
What makes the wall of the trachea rigid?
The wall of the trachea is rigid due to the presence of C-shaped cartilage rings that provide structural support and prevent collapse during breathing. These cartilage rings maintain the patency of the airway and help to protect and support the trachea.
Do blood cells have rigid cell walls?
No, blood cells do not have cell walls. Red blood cells have a flexible membrane to allow them to squeeze through small blood vessels, while white blood cells have a more elastic membrane to change shape as needed to engulf pathogens.
What makes plant cells rigid?
the cell walls box like shape
What is the structure of a plant cell wall?
plant cell walls are made of cellulose, which makes them rigid
Is glycogen the most abundant organic compound on earth?
No, glycogen is not the most abundant organic compound on earth. Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound, as it is the main component of plant cell walls. Glycogen is a storage form of glucose found in animals.
Is Cellulose organic or inorganic?
Cellulose is an organic compound. It is a naturally occurring polymer found in the cell walls of plants and is composed of repeating units of glucose molecules.
How is an internal plant area defined?
Plants are multicellular organs with either rigid or flexible cell walls. The cell walls contain cellulose as well. They produce their own food from organic substances nearby.
What is the most abundant organic compound found in the cell walls of plants?
Plant cell walls are mostly made up of cellulose which is a polymer of beta-glucose.
What are eukaryotic heterotrophs with rigid cell walls and no chlorophyll called?
Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs with rigid cell walls and no chlorophyll.
Why do the plant and bacteria cells seem more rigid?
They do not seem more rigid, they are more rigid! They both have cell walls. Many eubacteria, the bacteria you are most familiar with, have cell walls of peptidoglycan. Plants have cell walls made of interlocking cellulose.
Does plant cells have rigid cell walls?
yes, they do
What is the chemical that makes plant cell walls rigid?
A chemical substance called lignin hardens cell walls. Lignin is formed by removing water from sugars to create aromatic structures.
What are eukaryotic hetertrophs with rigid cell walls called?
the answer is spores
Plants are able to grow tall because their cells are rigid?
walls
