The is an extracellular structure that distinguishes cells from cells

Plant cell walls , are made of fungi, and cellulose fibers some embedded in unicellular other also polysaccharides have cell walls and

The cell wall protects the , maintains its shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Plant cell walls may have multiple layers • Primary cell wall: Relatively thin and flexible • Middle lamella: Thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells • Secondary cell Plasmodesmata wall (in some are channels cells): Added between between the adjacent plant plasma membrane cells and the primary cell wall

. The ECM is made up of glycoproteins such as , proteoglycans, and fibronectin . ECM proteins bind to receptor proteins in the plasma membrane called

. Plasmodesmata are channels that perforate plant cell walls . Through plasmodesmata, water and small solutes (and sometimes proteins and RNA) can pass from cell to cell Cell walls

Three types of cell junctions are common in epithelial tissues

At tight junctions, Gap junctions membranes of neighboring Desmosomes (anchoring (communicating junctions) cells are pressed together, junctions) fasten cells provide cytoplasmic preventing leakage of together into strong sheets channels between adjacent extracellular fluid cells
