Cell Wall
•A rigid, thick structure visible under a light microscope. Furthermore, it exists in a plant cells, a fungal cells, and bacterial cells. Also, it provides the cell its rigidity and shape
•Its formation takes place place from chitin(fungi), cellulose(plant cell), and peptidoglycan(bacteria)
•It is present in a plant cell, fungi, bacteria, and algae
Cell Membrane
•A delicate, thin structure that is visible under an electron microscope. Furthermore, it exists in every type of cell. Also, it provides protection to the protoplasm and facilitates the passing of molecules
•Its formation takes place from proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates
