Explanation

The secondary cell wall of sclerenchyma cells is heavily impregnated with lignin, which provides rigidity and strength. Cellulose is a primary component of cell walls but lignin specifically reinforces the secondary wall. Peptidoglycan and murein are found in bacterial cell walls, and pectin is mainly present in primary walls and middle lamella.
