The way cell walls are made can make it hard to tell the difference between two types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic Cells:

• These cells usually have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.
• This wall helps the cell keep its shape, but it can also make it tough to treat infections with antibiotics.

Eukaryotic Cells:

• These cells usually have cell walls made of cellulose in plants or chitin in fungi.
• This makes it tricky to recognize and understand these cells.

Because of these differences in how the cell walls are structured, creating new medicines and using cells for technology can be difficult. But with better methods in genetic engineering and biotechnology, we might find easier and more effective ways to tackle these problems.
