Plant Cells

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose, pectin and in many cases lignin, is secreted by the protoplast on the outside of the cell membrane. This contrasts with the cell walls of fungi and of bacteria, which are made of peptidoglycan. Specialized cell-to-cell communication pathways known as plasmodesmata, pores in the primary cell wall through which the plasmalemma and endoplasmic reticulum of adjacent cells are continuous.
