Cell Wall Innovations

A cell wall is the protective layer that is fairly rigid (it can be flexible and tough), semi-permeable surrounding a cell located outside of the plasma membrane providing additional support and protection. A major function of cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure and also acts as a filtering mechanism. Cell wall are found in plants, fungi and various prokaryotes, animal cells don’t have cell walls hence they don’t have rigid structures. Cellulose is a sugar that is classified as a structural carbohydrate and not used as energy source. When you consume plant material, you can’t digest and break down cellulose for energy because humans lack cellulose enzyme. Animals like cows and other herbivores have special bacteria in their stomach to digest the cellulose polymers. While cell walls protect the cells, they also allow plants to grow to great heights (major function giving the cell strength and structure). Cell walls are slightly elastic for smaller plants, thin branches, and leaves. Winds can push them from side to side and they bounce back. The published papers are made highly visible to the scientific community through a wide indexing policy freely available through online without any restrictions or any other subscriptions to researchers worldwide.
