Primary cell wall: a gelatinous base substance (matrix) made up of pectin compounds, hemicellulose com-
ponents and proteins. In the matrix, fibril structures can be detected (10-25%) which are arranged in an
irregular, scattered texture (elasticity still present).
Secondary wall: is chiefly composed of 90% cellulose fibrils. The arrangement of the fibrils is primarily in
a parallel texture. There are often deposits of lignin, tanning agents, CaCO

, SiO

or colouring agents. Cells
having a marked secondary wall are no longer capable of growth.
