Definition of cell wall in English English dictionary
- A thick, fairly rigid, layer formed around individual cells of bacteria, Archaea, fungi, plants, and algae (but not animals and other protists which generally have cell membranes without cell walls). The cell wall is external to the cell membrane and serves a structural function helping the cell maintain its shape and protecting the cell from damage
Think of the cell wall as a wicker basket in which a balloon has been inflated so that it exerts pressure from the inside. Such a basket is very rigid and resistant to mechanical damage.
- The rigid outermost cell layer found in plants and certain algae, bacteria, and fungi but characteristically absent from animal cells
- a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell; controls passage of substances in and out of the cell
- cell walls
- plural form of cell wall
- cell-wall
- Alternative spelling of cell wall
