What color is a cell wall and what is the texture?

I need to draw a picture of it for a project I have in Science class.What color is a cell wall and what is the texture?
To be honest, I don't know that a cell wall has a specific color to it. If it is a plant cell, it might have a greenous tint to it under a microscope because of the chlorophyll inside the cell. However, I'm not sure if it has any particular color, a bacteria cell would have, and animal cells don't have cell walls. If looking at one under a microscope, it would depend on what type of dye you are using. I think the majority of the cell get's it coloring from the dye being used. I don't think you're teacher is probably going to be real picky about what color you make the cell wall as long as you know what it is and where it goes. I'm a science teacher and that's not something I would deduct points for. When making models of the cells, my students usually use a color like brown. green, pink, or black for the walls and membranes. As far as texture goes, that's an even more difficult question. It's made mostly of polysaccharides, but it's purpose is to provide a rigid protective covering, shape, and allow things to move in and out. Just make it look thick and tough. That's the only advice I can give.What color is a cell wall and what is the texture?
how would we know if we haven't been to jail?


and i bet that if you were in jail, you wouldn't be on theese advice websites
if your talking about like in prison draw cement block walls with paint thats chipping off of it.
Green i would think for a plant and brown or red for a animal cell
Cell walls are rigid and waxy, they're job is to maintain shape, and keep things in the cell. They are composed of carbohydrates, mainly cellulose and polymer.





The color can vary depending on the pigmentation contained in the cell, but the only organisms with cell walls are plants and algae mainly, and usually the dominant pigment is chlorophyl, making the wall appear greenish.
well considering only plant cells have cell wall, they are green, and rough
its white from looking on the TV shows texture is probably soft or hard
Depends on the cell. Sorry i cant be any more specific. Plant cells howver, have greenish grey cell walls.
look online
Cell membrane is actually clear when you look at it through the microscope. It's made up of phospolipids, so yes it is pretty much transparent. If you're drawing the cell including the nucleus and the cytoplasm, it would be a good idea to use different colors to distinguish the rough/smooth endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, ribosomes, etc.
all depends but normally I have seen them being a tan or green and the texture is that of a very thick dried paint over concrete.
draw a brick wall. Kidding :0)








Uh your biology text book should have pictures and all sorts of things.. If not..go to a libary..ask the librarian to get you some biology books that actually show what a cell looks like.
green and unevenly holed
Cell walls are transparent (or grayish), and stiff like an inflated beach ball. The chlorophyll that gives plants their green color is inside the cell, not in the cell wall.
depends on the type of cell you are talking about...be more specific.
The cell wall is green and it looks like a brick wall.
