Discuss permeability in plant cell walls?

What will be an ideal response?


The primary plant cell wall does not prevent most solutes from moving into plant cells. The majority
of solutes can diffuse through the wall. However, some molecules such as proteins, RNAs and virus
particles cross the cell wall by way of plasmodesmata. Plasmodesmata also connect adjacent cells.
