cell wall

IPA（発音記号）

/sɛl wɔːl/

名詞

(cytology) A thick, fairly rigid, layer formed around individual cells of bacteria, Archaea, fungi, plants, and algae (but not animals and other protists which generally have cell membranes without cell walls). The cell wall is external to the cell membrane and serves a structural function helping the cell maintain its shape and protecting the cell from damage.

日本語の意味

細胞壁: 細菌、古細菌、菌類、植物、藻類などの個々の細胞の周囲に形成される、細胞膜の外側に位置する厚く比較的硬い層。細胞の形状保持や損傷からの保護などの構造的機能を果たす。

Under the microscope, the bacterium's cell wall appeared unusually thick, acting as a fairly rigid protective layer that helped it maintain its shape.

顕微鏡で観察すると、その細菌の細胞壁は異常に厚く、形を維持し損傷から守るかなり剛性のある保護層として働いていた。

The name of Chlamydomonas is applied to certain microscopic green bodies, each of which consists of a protoplasmic central substance invested by a structureless sac. The latter contains cellulose, as in ordinary plants; and the chlorophyll which gives the green colour enables the Chlamydomonas to decompose carbonic acid and fix carbon, as they do. Two long cilia protrude through the cell-wall, and effect the rapid locomotion of this monad, which, in all respects except its mobility, is characteristically a plant.
