Biological death occurs when brain cells start to die due to lack of oxygen. Biological death follows clinical death (when a person stops breathing). Without oxygen brain damage can occur within minutes. 4-6 minutes of oxygen deprivation can cause minor brain damage. 6-10 minutes of oxygen deprivation will cause brain damage. After 10 minutes of no oxygen irreversible brain damage occurs.

In the primary (growing) plant cell wall, the major carbohydrates are cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. The cell wall in plants provides the most significant difference between plant cells and other eukaryotic cells. The cell wall is rigid (up to many micrometers in thickness) and gives plant cells a much defined shape.
