Question

name the constituents of cell wall and mention its functions​

Answer 1

Answer:

Composition. In the primary (growing) plant cell wall, the major carbohydrates are cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. The cellulose microfibrils are linked via hemicellulosic tethers to form the cellulose-hemicellulose network, which is embedded in the pectin matrix. ... This functions to increase cell wall extensibility.

Answer 2

The chief constituent of the cell wall of a plant cell is cellulose, which is a polysaccharide. Whereas suberin is a waxy substance associated with the cell wall of plant cells, lignin is mainly present in the cell wall of the dead plant cells and pectin is the heteropolysaccharide present in the primary cell wall only.
