Summary Introduction
To review:
The blank space given in statement, “Unlike plant cells that contain cellulose, bacterial cell walls are composed of ___________.”
Introduction:
In addition to the cell membrane, the plant and animal cells also contain a layer, which is responsible for providing rigidity or protection to the cell. The plant cells are surrounded by cell wall composed of cellulose. Cellulose is an important structural component of the cell wall of green plants made up of repeating units of glucose.
