Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

Biology (Grade 9): High School Learning: CELL WALL:
Cell Wall- A Protective layer surrounding the cell on the outside of the plasma membrane.
Cell Wall is only present in plant cell.
Cell Wall consists of 3 layers.
- Middle lamellla.- Outer wall.
- Primary Wall- Formed after middle lamella and consists of a skeleton of cellulose microfibrils, embedded in gel like matrix of pectic compounds, hemicellulose, and glucoprotein.

- Secondary Wall:
Formed after cell enlargement is completed , provides compression strength.

- Plasmodesmata: Connection between cells,A microscopic channels through the cell walls and lamella.

Cell Wall and Turgor:
- Cell Wall is made of neutral and charged polysacchrides absorbs H2O because it has a hypotonic environment.

- Increased H2O in the cell – Turgor Pressure. If a plant cell is turgid . it is very form , a healthy state in the most plant,If plant is flacid . it is isotonic solution.

Difference between CELL MEMBRANE and CELL WALL.
