Cell wall is a rigid protective layer found in plants, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea. Animal cells do not possess a cell wall. Cell wall composition varies by organism: cellulose in plants, peptidoglycan in bacteria, chitin in fungi
Cell wall surrounds every plant cell and distinguishes it from animal cells. Prokaryotes, algae, fungi, and slime molds also have cell walls. Plant cell walls contain cellulose, while fungal walls lack cellulose and contain chitin

Turgor pressure is the force that pushes plasma membrane against cell wall. Caused by osmotic flow of water in plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists. Not observed in animal cells due to lack of cell wall. Cell membrane allows water flow while limiting solute movement
Plant cells contain cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin in their cell walls. They have large vacuoles that regulate turgor pressure. Cell division occurs through the formation of a phragmoplast. Most plant cells lack flagella and centrioles except in gametes
Vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle found in various cell types. Formed by fusion of multiple membrane vesicles. Discovered by Leeuwenhoek in 1676, named by Dujardin in 1841
