Question

write down the composition of intine
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The intine consists, at least in part, of cellulose or hemicellulose. The intine, or inner layer, consists primarily of cellulose and pectins. The exine, or outer layer, is composed of a highly decay-resistant chemical called sporopollenin.

The amino acid composition of exine was similar to that of gram-negative bacterial cell walls. The intine consisted of 44% carbohydrate, 9.1% protein, 37% lipid, and 4.1% ash, with the ash comprised of 2.45% calcium, 0.02% magnesium, and 0.38% phosphorus.
