Document Summary

Cell-cell connections help adjacent cells adhere to each other and cell-cell gaps help adjacent cells to communicate. Intercellular signals allow the cell to work as an integrated whole from thousands of individual parts. Intercellular signals are received, processed, responded to and then deactivated. If the signal is received at the cell surface then the process step involved creating an intercellular signal. The structure and function of an extracellular layer: In plants, the primary extracellular layer is the cell wall which is made from cellulose fibers that resist torsion and other tensions. Pectin, which is a polysaccharide, resists compression and other components similar to pectin which are called ground material are able to resist compression as well. The primary cell wall: during cell division cells secrete the fibers composite called a primary cell wall. It defines the shape of the plant cell and counteracts turgor pressure which is water pushing against the plasma membrane.
