TLDR
In this paper, the physicico-chemical properties of dietary fiber have been investigated and the main contributors to metabolic effects (glucose and lipid metabolisms) whereas fermentation pattern, bulking effect and particle size are strongly involved in effects on colonic function.

Determination of the Pore Size of Cell Walls of Living Plant Cells

TL;DR: Results indicate that molecules with diameters larger than these pores would be restricted in their ability to penetrate such a cell wall, and that such a wall may represent a more significant barrier to cellular communication than has been previously assumed.
