what is the difference between plant cell wall and bacterial cell wall?

One main difference between plant and bacterial cell walls is their structure. Plant cell walls are made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and lignin. Plant cells have both a primary and a secondary cell wall. Primary walls surround growing and dividing plant cells. The secondary cell walls are important because they facilitate the transport of water and nutrients and allow for upright growth, such as the growth of plants' stems.

Bacteria cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan; they do not contain cellulose like plant cell walls. The bacteria cell wall is rigid. The cell wall is crucial to cell survival, as it plays a vital role in the interaction of the bacterial cell and the environment.
