The side of the fungal-type cell wall that is opposite to the side that faces the cell and its contents. The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane. The side of the cell wall that is opposite to the side that faces the cell and its contents. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. The rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, and most prokaryotic cells, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. In plants it is made of cellulose and, often, lignin; in fungi it is composed largely of polysaccharides; in bacteria it is composed of peptidoglycan. Any constituent part of the cell wall, the rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, and most prokaryotic cells, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. Any constituent part of an external encapsulating structure, a structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell.
