Yes plant cells need a cell membrane. In addition to the cell membrane they also have a cell wall. Animal cells however do not have a cell wall but merely a membrane. A cell is not able to live without a membrane as it holds the organelles and cytoplasm in place.

Cell membrane in plant or animal?
A animal cell has a Cell Membrane to protect it, but a plant cell has a Cell Wall that also protects it. Ask me any more questions you need!
Is the cell membrane a animal plant or both?
All cells have cell walls. The big difference is that plant cells have an additional layer of cell wall covering them.
How do plant and animal cells differ from each other?
Plant cells have a stiff cell wall, while animal cells have a flexible, semi-permiable, cell membrane. Plant cells also have a vacuole the store materials that are needed by the cell if u have any more questions then just save them here and i will try to answer them for p.s. i said i will try i never said i will so get that straight (not to be rude or anything)
Is a cell wall in animal or plant cells?
cell walls are in plant cells, because the cell wall is rigid (up to many micrometers in thickness) and gives plant cells a very defined shape. While most cells have a outer membrane, none is comparable in strength to the plant cell wall. The cell wall is the reason for the difference between plant and animal cell functions. Because the plant has evolved this rigid structure, they have lost the opportunity to develop nervous systems, immune systems, and most importantly, mobility. An animal cell floats freely in the body, so it doesn't need a cell wall, and can't live with a cell wall.
Difference between plan and animal cells?
The fundamental difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have much larger vacuoles, possess chloroplasts, and have a cell wall as opposed to a cell membrane. Animal cells do not need these things for the simple fact that they can't convert solar energy into chemical energy and don't need that much water to survive.

Despite differences in the size and shape all cells have cytoplasm and a?
cell membrane!!! not ribosomes! -wrong plant cells have cell walls and animal cells have cell membrane, it might seem right but it is wrong. Nearly all cells have a mitochondrion.^ While the answer above is correct, the real answer is Cell Membrane. So all cells have cytoplasm, AND cell membranes.
Is a cell membrane found in a plant cell but not a aminal cell?
No. Plant and Animal Cells both have Cell Membranes. Plants cells have an extra membrane reffered to as the "Cell Wall". This helps the plant keep its shape. Without it, the plant will be very droopy. Animal cells don't need celll walls b/c they have cells specifically designed for structure of the animal. (Bone cells, muscle cells etc.)
Is the cell membrane a animal plant or both?

Why does a plant cell have a cell membrane?
All cells need to be able to let food, water and unneeded waste to get in and out of the cells, that's where the cell membrane comes in; it acts like a filter letting things in and out. In the animal cell it also has the job of protecting and keeping the cell in place, but in a plant cell the cell wall is given that job.
Do cats have cell walls?
Plant cells have cell walls. Since a cat is a mammal, its cells will have a cell membranes
Do all cells have a cell membrane?
All cells need a membrane. The membrane helps with keeping in all the fluids and organelles plus it takes in and sends out important things. Plant cells and bacteria have cell walls which give an extra layer of protection.
Does a plant or an animal have a cell wall?
No, only plants have a cell wall
Why wasnt their a cell wall found in the cheek cells?
There was no cell wall in the cheek cells because animals and human cells do not contain a cell wall; they only have a cell membrane. Cell walls can be found in plant cells
Why do you need to study plant cell?
a plant and cells
