Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissue systems made of various cell types that carry out specific functions. Different tissues work together to ...
Plant Cell Wall
Plant Cell Wall
Plant cells have a cell wall, a rigid outer covering that protects the cell and provides shape and support. During cell division, a mixture of enzymes, ...
Tonicity in Plants
Tonicity in Plants
Plant cells maintain appropriate osmotic balance in extreme conditions. For instance, plants in dry environments store water in vacuoles, limit the ...
Cellulose and Pectic Polysaccharides
Cellulose and Pectic Polysaccharides
 Every plant cell has a cell wall that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives the cell shape. Cellulose, the main structural ...
Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition
Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition
Microtubules are small hollow tubes in eukaryotic cells. The cell wall microtubules are polymerized dimers of two globular proteins, α-tubulin and ...
Plasmodesmata
Plasmodesmata
In a multicellular organism, cells must communicate to work together in a coordinated manner. One way that cells communicate is through direct contact ...
Cell Adhesion in Plants
Cell Adhesion in Plants
Plants have rigid cell walls that are made up of cell wall polysaccharides that mediate cell-cell adhesion. The primary cell walls of plants consist of ...
