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 do you think animal cells have cell membranes instead of cell walls?

Cell walls hold cells stiff so trees can grow tall. Cell membranes are flexible so animals can bend and move about. No tree can scratch itself where it itches. There is a disease that makes people so stiff they can not move. That would happen to everyone if they had cell walls.
