the cytoskeleton
cell wall
An animal cell does not have support, thus it has a indefinite shape. Only plant cells have a cell wall, which supports it and gives it a rectangular shape. the cell membrane keeps the cell together, but not support.
Animal cells do not have a fixed shape because unlike plant cells, they do not have the rigid cell wall to keep them in a specific shape. Therefore their cell membrane which is like a mere sheet allows them to be blob-like.
It provides shape & gives mechanical support. Also serves as a monorail to transport substances around the cell.
Plant cells are bigger than animal cells because they have a fixed shape and animal cells have an irregular shape. Plant cells also have bigger vacuoles and chloroplasts (which the animal doesn't have) therefore adding to its largeness.Edited answer:The largest single cell is an animal egg. this is so because in many cases (as in birds) this cell has to develop into a juvenile animal on its food reserves after getting fertilized.

cell wall
The cell membrane in animal cells and the cell wall in plant cells give the cell its form, shape, and protection.
the differences are that plant cells have chloroplasts ( which make them green), and cell walls (the hard cover of the cell that gives the cell a shape), and animal cells don't have any of those. also, plant cells are cubed, and animal cells are like globs. animal cells remind me of an off-shape circle. they are ovaly! lol!! hope i helped!!
The cell wall gives a plant cell shape and structure. Animal cells do not have walls, they have membranes.
No, animal cell has a abnormal shape and a plant shape is square because it's cell wall holds it that shape.
Plant cells generally have a rectangular, rigid shape. Animal cells generally are rounded in shape.
Becuse plant cells need structure and the cell wall gives it that and it also gives it a defined shape and animals have spines instead so it is not needed/used.

from the cytoskeleton
Animal cells are circular. Plant cells are rectangular.
