Animal cells do in fact have a vacuole, just not as prominent as that of plant cells. Plant cells use the vacuole not only for storage, but also because it adds structure and rigidity to the cell.

∙ 12y agoPlants stay in the same place, and this can put a lot of stress on their cells. Therefore, they have to have something to support themselves. Animals, on the other hand, have to move quickly, and this is nearly impossible with cell walls. Besides, animals don't need cell walls as they do not stay in exactly the same position for very long.

∙ 11y agoPlant cells need more protection than animal cells. So, plant cells have cell walls in addition to cell membrane but animal cell does not need more protection. So, it lack cell wall.

∙ 12y agoBecause plant cells need to have a strong structure to hold the plant up...with out them the plant would just fall over.... animal cells have a skeleton like structure!!
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoPlant cells have cell walls as plants do not have a skeletal system like animals to keep them upright.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoBecause the cell wall acts as structure (like our bones) and protection (like our skull and skin)
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe cell wall provides extra protection and support that a plant cell needs to keep its shape. It also help to keep in water.

∙ 9y agoCell walls stiffen plants so they may stand. Animals bear specialized cells like bone or kiton with their own permeability and needs and must be sequestered of viscera.

Which one has a cell wall plant or animal?
Plant cells have cell walls. Animal cells do not.
Is a cell membrane a plant cell or animal cell?
Both, most plant cells have a cell wall but animal cells do not.
Why ar animal and plant cells different?
Plant cells contain cell walls, chloroplasts, and a permanent vacuole. Animal cells contain lysosomes. That is how plant and animal cells are different.
What is the difference between an animal cell and a palnt cell?
animal cells do not possess a cell wall and plant cell possess a cell wall as well as a cell membrane. animal cells cannot plasmolyse but plant cells can.
What are differents between the plant and the animal cell?
Animal cells have a cell membrane and it also has centrioles on the other hand plant cells have a cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast.
Is the cellulose cell wall in plant or animal cells?
Only plant cells have a cell wall. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
What do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
Plant cells have chloroplasts (which make food for the plant through photosynthesis) and a cell wall. Animal cells do not; they only have a cell membrane (plant cells have a cell membrane and a cell wall).
How are animal cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells have no cell wall Plant cells have a cell wall and contain chloroplasts.
What cell part do animal cells and plant cells do not have?
Cells have a cell wall animal cell's don't have a cell wall.
What are some diffences and similarities about plant cells and animal cells?
Plant Cells have a cell wall and chlorophyl when Animal cells do not. Animal cells have a cell membrane instead of a cell wall.
What is the difference between the cell wall of a plant and animal cell?
Plant cells have a cell wall on the outer layer. Animal cells do not have a cell wall they have a cell membrane.
What is different from plant cells and animal cells?
Animal cell do not have cell wall while plant cell do have cell wall. In Animal cell plastids are usually absent and plant cell have plastids.
What is the different in a animal cell and a plant cell?
animal cells have a nucleus and plant cells do not. Animal cells also have a cell wall.
What is a structure found in plant and bacterial cells but not in animal cells?
Bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles. They do not have mitochondria, a Golgi apparatus, or endoplasmic reticulum. Plant and animal cells have all these things.
What is an outside covering that all plant cells have and that is not found in animal cells?
The cell wall is the outside covering that all plant cells have. This cell wall is not found in animal cells.
What makes the difference of a plant cell and animal cell?
Plant Cells have a Cell wall. Animal Cells do not.
what organelle are present in plant cell that are absent in animal cell?
A difference between animal cells and plant cells is that plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not.Large, Central Vacuole Cell Wall Chloroplasts
