Do both a plant and animal cell have a cell membrane?
Yes, they both have a cell membrane, but only the plant cell has both a cell membrane and a cell wall.
Is cell wall found a animal cell?
No. There is just the cell membrane, cytoplasm and the nucleus. No, a Plant cell has a Cell Wall but a Animal has a cell membrane which is the same thing as a plasma membrane
What does the cell membrane do unlike the cell wall?
the cell wall is only on a plant cell while the cell membrane is on both plant and animal.
What is the biggest difference between animal and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane for structure. Animal cells only have a cell membrane.
Does animal cells generally a cell wall to enclose the cell?
Only plant cells have cell walls as well as a cell membrane Animal cells only have a cell membrane
Is the muscle cell a plant or animal cell?
A cell membrane is found in both plant and animal cells. However only plant cells have both a cell wall and a cell membrane.

Is cell membrane found in animal or plant cells or both?
The cell membrane is found in both plant and animal cells. However, only plant cells have cell walls.
What is the biggest difference between animal and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane for structure. Animal cells only have a cell membrane.
Is the nuclear envelope found in a plant cell or animal cell?
The nuclear membrane is found in both animal and plant cells. It is a double lipid bilayer that is responsible for enclosing the genetic material of the cell.
Does animal cells generally a cell wall to enclose the cell?
Only plant cells have cell walls as well as a cell membrane Animal cells only have a cell membrane
Is the cell membrane in a plant or animal cell or both?
Both the cell wall is only in plant cells
Is the cell membrane in an animal cell?
All cells have a cell membrane, including both animal and plant cells. The cell membrane allows the passage of nutrients into and wastes out of the cell. A distinguishing feature between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have a "cell wall" in addition to a cell membrane, while animal cells only possess a cell membrane. The plant cell wall is made of cellulose fibers which provide stability to the cell, and through fusion of the plant cell walls, the plant is able to maintain its shape and form.
What is the different between animal cell and a plant cell?
A plant cell is more rectangular and an animal cell is more of an oval A plant cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts, a cytoplasm and vacuole. Whereas an animal cell only has a cell membrane, cytoplasm and vacuole.
Define between plant cell and animal cell?
A plant cell has a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane and (most of the time) chloroplasts. An animal cell only has a nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane.
