The series of events leading to chemical and structural alterations of an existing cell wall that can result in loosening, increased extensibility or disassembly. A type of cell wall modification in which the cell wall is reinforced and made thicker. The series of events resulting in chemical or structural changes to existing cell walls and contribute to multidimensional cell growth. A process that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly 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. A process that results in the biosynthesis of constituent macromolecules, assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cell wall. The series of events leading to chemical and structural alterations of an existing cellulose and pectin-containing cell wall that can result in loosening, increased extensibility or disassembly. An example of this is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
