suberin is as impervious to air as it is to water. The gas exchange needs of the living
cells beneath the
cork is met by openings in the
cork called

cell walls may contain lignin and
suberin, making the walls rigid.
The relative composition of
carbohydrates, secondary
compounds and
protein varies between
plants and between the
cell type and age.
