    In simple terms, cell walls are the structural components that provide support and protection to cells in both plants and humans. Composed of complex materials, these walls play a vital role in maintaining cellular integrity, facilitating nutrient uptake, and regulating the exchange of gases and water. In plants, cell walls are primarily made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, while human cells have a complex network of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
