Study Notes
The Cell
- The basic unit of life in plants and animals
- Consists of a cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, and vacuoles
- Cytoplasm contains structures like mitochondria, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and plastids
- A group of similar cells forms a tissue
Plant Cell Components
- Golgi Complex
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Nucleolus
- Cell Wall
- Vacuole
- Membrane
- Peroxisome
- Cytoplasm
- Chloroplast
The Cell Wall
- Composed of three layers: Middle lamella, Primary wall, Secondary wall
- The Middle lamella is between cells, made of pectic substances
- Primary wall is made of cellulose and pectic substances
- Secondary wall forms after cell growth, mainly cellulose with polysaccharides
- Modifications include lignin, suberin, and cutin deposition
- Tertiary wall is the innermost layer, thin and refractive, made of cellulose
Cellulosic Walls
- Primarily composed of cellulose, with hemicellulose and pectin
- Cellulose is a polysaccharide of glucose residues
- Chemical properties:
- Blue color with iodine and sulfuric acid
- Blue color with chloro-zinc-iodine
- No color with aniline, phloroglucin, or HCl
- Dissolves in ammonical copper oxide solution, precipitates with dilute sulfuric acid
Mucilaginous Walls
- Certain cellulosic walls can transform into gums and mucilages
- Mucilage is a polysaccharide of sugars and uronic acids with metals
- Chemical properties:
- Variably stained with ruthenium red, iodine-sulfuric acid, or corallin soda
Lignified Walls
- Lignin is a strengthening material
- Chemically, it's a complex phenylpropanoid polymer
- Chemical properties:
- Stains magenta red with phloroglucin and hydrochloric acid

The Cell Wall
- Consists of three layers:
- Middle lamella: composed of pectic substance
- Primary wall: composed of cellulose and pectic substance
- Secondary wall: composed of cellulose and polysaccharides, can have modifications like lignin, suberin, and cutin
- Tertiary wall: innermost layer, thin and highly refractive, composed of cellulose
Cellulosic Walls
- Composed primarily of cellulose, with hemicellulose and pectin.
- Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of linear chains of glucose residues.
- Chemical Properties:
- Turns blue with iodine and sulfuric acid
- Turns blue with chloro-zinc-iodine
- Does not change color with aniline or phloroglucin and HCl
- Dissolves in ammonical solution of copper oxide (Cuoxam) and precipitates with dilute sulfuric acid
Mucilaginous Walls
- Certain cellulosic cell walls can be converted into gums and mucilages.
- Mucilage is a polysaccharide consisting of sugars and uronic acid combined with metals.
- Chemical Properties:
- Variably stained with ruthenium red, iodine sulfuric acid, or corallin soda
Lignified Walls
- Lignin is a strengthening material.
- Chemically, it is a complex phenylpropanoid polymer.
- Chemical Properties:
- Stains magenta red with phloroglucin and hydrochloric acid
