  2. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    Because of the low permeability through the secondary cell wall, cellular transport is carried out through openings in the wall called pits. Wood consists mostly of secondary cell wall, and holds the plant up against gravity. [8] Some secondary cell walls store nutrients, such as those in the cotyledons and the endosperm. These contain little ...

  3. L-form bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-form_bacteria

    Although L-forms can develop from Gram-positive as well as from Gram-negative bacteria, in a Gram stain test, the L-forms always colour Gram-negative, due to the lack of a cell wall. The cell wall is important for cell division, which, in most bacteria, occurs by binary fission. This process usually requires a cell wall and components of the ...

  4. Braun's lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braun's_lipoprotein

    Lpp, along with another OmpA-like lipoprotein called Pal/OprL (), maintains the stability of the cell envelope by attaching the outer membrane to the cell wall. [4]Lpp has been proposed as a virulence factor of Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague. [8]

  5. Basic feasible solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_feasible_solution

    A basis B of the LP is called dual-optimal if the solution = is an optimal solution to the dual linear program, that is, it minimizes . In general, a primal-optimal basis is not necessarily dual-optimal, and a dual-optimal basis is not necessarily primal-optimal (in fact, the solution of a primal-optimal basis may even be unfeasible for the ...

  6. Cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

    The secondary cell wall, a thick layer formed inside the primary cell wall after the cell is fully grown. It is not found in all cell types. It is not found in all cell types. Some cells, such as the conducting cells in xylem , possess a secondary wall containing lignin , which strengthens and waterproofs the wall.

  7. Cell envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_envelope

    The bacterial cell wall differs from that of all other organisms by the presence of peptidoglycan (poly-N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid), which is located immediately outside of the cytoplasmic membrane. Peptidoglycan is responsible for the rigidity of the bacterial cell wall and for the determination of cell shape. It is ...

  8. Plasmodesma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodesma

    The formation of primary plasmodesmata occurs during the part of the cellular division process where the endoplasmic reticulum and the new plate are fused together, this process results in the formation of a cytoplasmic pore (or cytoplasmic sleeve). The desmotubule, also known as the appressed ER, forms alongside the cortical ER.

  9. Phragmoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmoplast

    The cell plate will transform into the new cell wall once cytokinesis is complete. The phragmoplast is a plant cell specific structure that forms during late cytokinesis . It serves as a scaffold for cell plate assembly and subsequent formation of a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
