Animal cells have a cell membrane, plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane.

Animals (espeacially simple organisms) are motile, having a cell wall restricts movement as cell walls are rigid structures.

Imagine if a human cells were to have cell walls, the rigidity of the structure would slow or even impede movement - basically we'd end up like plants pretty much stationary.
