Best Answer

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.
