Cell walls, offering structural integrity, are made of chitin in fungi and cellulose in plants and algae, with plants potentially having two distinct layers.
Cell walls provide structural support and protection; they are composed of chitin in fungi and cellulose in plants and algae, with plants potentially having two layers separated by a middle lamella.
