Difference Between Cell Membrane and Cell Wall
Cell Wall:
Location:
It is outer most boundary of plant cell. It is absent in animals cell.
Thickness:
It may be thick as outer wall of trachieds or as parenchyma tissues.
Tissues:
- i) Parenchyma tissues are composed to thin wall and its function is storage.
- ii) Cotenchyma tissues are slightly thick and their function is conduction.
iii) Sclerenchyma tissues are thick wall and their function is protection.
Composition:
Its composition is different in different plants. Majority composed of cellulose (dead cells). In fungi it is composed of chitin.
Types of cell wall:
- i) Primary cell wall is a thin wall which form first whorl.
- ii) Secondary cell wall is formed by deposition of many primary cell walls. It is thick.
Functions of cell wall:
- i) It provides protection to the cell.
- ii) It gives shape to the cell.
iii) It provides support to the cell.
- iv) It provides rigidity to the cell.
Nature of cell wall:
Cell wall is permeable in nature because it allows all the materials to pass through.
Cell Membrane:
Location:
It is outer most in animal’s ceII while in plant cell it is present inside the cell wall.
Thickness:
It is few micron meter thick.
Composition:
Basically is composed of lipids and proteins. It consists of two layers if lipids in which protein molecule are completely embedded.
Function:
- i) All the transportation of cell is done by cell membrane.
- ii) It provides the shape to the animal cell.
iii) It provides support to animal cell.
listen and memorize the pronunciation. And then we read it in the original and always out loud. The combination of different materials gives good results. Improves brain function. Reading is generally useful for the brain, and studying foreign literature makes the “gray matter” work in an intensive mode. English books are a kind of simulator, and intellectual activity is exercises that promote “muscle building” in both hemispheres of the brain
