What is the stiff outside of the membrane called?

Membranes do not have a stiff outside. I suspect the answer you are looking for is the cell wall, which is a stiff structure found outside the cell membrane of a plant cell, but separate from it.

What is the function of the large central vacuole in plant cell?

to provide structure for the cell, mainly through "turgor pressure" against the cell wall. this keeps the plant stiff.


What part in a plant cell is strong and stiff?

The still part of a plant cell is called Cell Wall. This is the rigid outermost layer of a plant cell. It makes the cell stiff -providing the cell with mechanical support - and giving it protection. It is found just inside the cell wall and is made up of complex lipids (fats) and proteins.

Why don't animals cells need a cell wall?

The cell wall is an extra layer of protection for plant cells. The cell wall is stiff so as to keep the shape of the cell. Since plants must be stiff or else they will droop, having stiff cells makes that happen. Animal cells don't need to worry about having stiff cells because animal cells just float around throughout the organism...plant cells must be stiff and aligned next to each other.


Why do plants have a rigid structure?

Animal cells do not have cells walls. Instead, they have cell membranes which allow the cell to take any shape it wants. Plant cells, however, have cell walls which cause the cell to remain stiff and immobile.
