Cell walls in prokaryotes (e.g., bacteria) and plants define the cell's shape and give rigidity to the cell.
A plant cell wall is made up of cellulose which is essentially just Beta glucoses. In plants it considered to be thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. This layer of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure. The cell wall also bonds with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant.
A cell of a bacterial/prokaryotic cell is made up of peptidoglycan which is also known as murein . In prokaryotes, it's an outer covering of most cells that protects the bacterial cell and gives it shape.
