Summary Introduction

To determine:  The model for the secondary wall of the plant in which the colors of the layers reflect the timing of their synthesis with reference to figure 10.6 given in the textbook.

Introduction:  The synthesis of the secondary cell wall of the plants occurs after the formation of the primary walls. The secondary cell wall is deposited and synthesized between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall after a plant cell matures and eventually stops to divide.
