	Cell wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plant cell walls have a number of functions: they provide rigidity to the cell for structural and mechanical support, maintaining cell shape, the direction of cell growth and ultimately the architecture of the plant.
		Cells interact though plasmodesma(ta), which are inter-connecting channels of cytoplasm that connect to the protoplasts of adjacent cells across the cell wall.
		Cell walls of bacteria are primarily used for protection against hostile environments or, in the case of pathogenic bacteria, against the immune system of the host.

	Plant Cell Wall Basics
		In addtion we are studying the role of the cell wall as a source of biological active molecules and as a barrier to plant pathogens.
		Changes in tissue and organ morphology that occur during plant growth and development result from controlled cell division and growth together with modification and structural reorganiztion of the wall, and the synthesis and insertion of new material into the existing wall.
		Primary walls isolated form higher plant tissues and cells are composed predominantly of polysaccharides together with lesser amounts of structural glycoproteins (hydroxyproline-rich extensins), phenolic esters (ferulic and coumaric acids), ionically and covalently bound minerals (e.g.

		The presence of the hypertonic solution surrounding the cells should have caused the cells to plasmolyze (plasmolysis is the shrinkage of the protoplasm of plant cells, causing it to pull away from the cell wall).
		Plant cells generally are connected to one another by structures called plasmodesmata which, although structurally complex, appear at low magnification to be thin strands of protoplasm passing through the cell wall to join the adjacent cells.
		The size and shape of plant cells can differ, as well as the thickness and chemical composition of the cell wall; the organelles present may be different; and some plant cells actually function it a.
