| Identifier | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GO:0005618 | cell wall | The rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, most prokaryotic cells and some protozoan parasites, 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; in protozoan parasites such as Giardia species, it's made of carbohydrates and proteins. |
| GO:0009277 | fungal-type cell wall | A rigid yet dynamic structure surrounding the plasma membrane that affords protection from stresses and contributes to cell morphogenesis, consisting of extensively cross-linked glycoproteins and carbohydrates. The glycoproteins may be modified with N- or O-linked carbohydrates, or glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors; the polysaccharides are primarily branched glucans, including beta-linked and alpha-linked glucans, and may also include chitin and other carbohydrate polymers, but not cellulose or pectin. Enzymes involved in cell wall biosynthesis are also found in the cell wall. Note that some forms of fungi develop a capsule outside of the cell wall under certain circumstances; this is considered a separate structure. |
| GO:0044464 | cell part | Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. |
| GO:0005575 | cellular_component | The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. |
| GO:0005623 | cell | The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. |
| GO:0071944 | cell periphery | The part of a cell encompassing the cell cortex, the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
| GO:0030312 | external encapsulating structure | A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell. |
| GO:0005619 | ascospore wall | The specialized cell wall of the ascospore (spore), which is the product of meiotic division. Examples of this component are found in Fungi. |
| GO:0031160 | spore wall | The specialized envelope lying outside the cell membrane of a spore. |
