While cell membranes might be around every cell, cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells. Cellulose forms protective framework for a plant cell to survive. It is a structural carbohydrate used in protection and support. They help a plant keep its shape.
There are other sorts of cell walls. Many but not all bacteria also have a structure called a cell wall. Fungi and some protozoa also have cell walls. These wall are made of proteins. They serve the same purpose of protecting and maintaining structure.
The cell membrane is easy to break and it can be unstable.

What is the function of the cell membrane as compared to the cell wall?
The cell membrane, acts as a second barriar. More protection. Keeps the stuff that pass through the cell wall. (only if its bad)
What role do the cell wall and cell membrane play in a cell?
It is important to remember the following: Animal cell: Cell membrane, Plant cell: Cell membrane, cell wall. The role of a cell membrane is to monitor what exits and enters the cell and therefore maintain the internal environment of it, to contain the contents of the cell and to provide some sort of protection for it. The role of a cell wall which is unique only to plant cells, is to protect the cell inside and lend support to it so it can maintain its stucture.
What is the outside of a plant called?
the cell wall, or it could also be the cell membrane, the cell wall is outside the cell membrane
Do bacterial cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane?
yes they have a cell wall and membrane
What structure around the outside of the plant cell keeps them from rupturing from too much water?
Cell Wall
What is a good sentence with the word cell wall in the sentence?
The cell wall of a plant cell is very rigid compared to its cell membrane.
What is the function of the cell membrane as compared to the cell wall?
The cell membrane, acts as a second barriar. More protection. Keeps the stuff that pass through the cell wall. (only if its bad)
What function do cell wall?
A cell wall is found in plant cells only, NOT animal cells. It provides support to the cell, and holds the cell together. It is not permeable like a cell membrane. The cell wall can be compared to a brick wall.
What is the organelle that surrounds the cell and protects it?
the cell membrane the cell membrane
What role do the cell wall and cell membrane play in a cell?
It is important to remember the following: Animal cell: Cell membrane, Plant cell: Cell membrane, cell wall.

Does the cell protect the cell wall of a cell membrane?
You can't have a cell wall and a cell membrane so no
Does an animal cell have a cell wall and a cell membrane?
An animal cell consists of a cell membrane but not a cell wall.
What is the outside of a plant called?
the cell wall, or it could also be the cell membrane, the cell wall is outside the cell membrane
Do bacterial cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane?
yes they have a cell wall and membrane
Why plant cell have both cell wall and cell cell membrane?
The Functions of the cell wall and the cell membrane are different
In a plant cell is there a cell membrane?
Yes there is a cell membrane underneath the cell wall. When the cell wall is removed, the cell membrane of plants is called a protoplast.
Where is a cell membrane of a plant cell?
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is inside the cell wall. You can sometimes see the cell membrane if you look carefully but its right under the cell wall
