Document Summary

These are things found outside of the cell however they are extremely important. Plant cell wall: composed of cellulose fibers that are embedded in a matrix of other complex proteins and polysaccharides, this is only found in plants, not animals. It provides the plant with a rigid structure making sure the plasma membrane does not rupture under turgor pressure. This pressure is when plant cells take in too much water and may rupture but this pressure causes it not to rupture. It serves as a protective barrier to parasites, fungus, bacteria or anything that could harm plant cells. The cell wall is part of the cell but it is external. Extracellular matrix: found outside of the cells, composed of different proteins. It depends on the cell that it is surrounding on what it will contain or be composed: functions of. Helps hold the cells together to form tissues. Contributes to the physical properties of the tissue.
