Cargas na parede celular

English translation: Charges in the cell wall

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:Cargas na parede celular
English translation:Charges in the cell wall
Entered by: Tania Pires

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Characteristics of Lithothamnium
Portuguese term or phrase: Cargas na parede celular
'Cargas na parede celular = Nutrientes adsorvidos = fácil liberação.'

Two things:
1 - The original is in Brazilian

2 - This relates to algae

I'm not sure whether 'Cargas' could be 'Loads' in here. It doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but maybe I'm wrong...

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Charges in cell wall
Explanation:
I found the reference you needed,
in sobiologia.com.br they explain what a "carga" is,

and by looking at sources online, I find way more examples
using the term "charges" than loads.

For example:
Fixed negative charges in cells walls
Due to charges on their cells walls
