- It is made up of calcium and magnesium pectate.
Primary cell wall
- Primary cell wall is a thin and flexible layer which is present between the middle lamella and the plasma membrane. It is capable of growth and expansion.
- It is made up of cellulose microfibrils, pectic polysaccharides and matrix protein and soluble protein.
