Cell wall is a cellular structure present in plants they are made up of cellouse and provide rigidity and structural strength to the plants cell while animals need to move around so that animals do not need cellouse cell wall is absent in animals cell in order to allow them to change their shape when neceessary.

∙ 14y agocell wall is present in plants while animals have cell membrane.
cell wall mainly helps the plant to remain rigid and fixed. this helps the plants because they are immobile. the cell wall mainly contains cellulose and other substances, which are the main reasons why the trunks and branches of the trees are strong.
the cell membrane is made up of proteins and lipids. cell membrane has the same functions as the cell wall but then, it does not have cellulose and other substances because the basic activity and functioning of the two creatures itself is different:)

∙ 12y agoBecause green plants carry out photosynthesis which gives them a constant supply of simple sugars, it is easier for them to synthesize chemicals such as cellulose, which are put together from simple sugars, than it would be to create cell membranes as animal cells have, which are made of lipo-proteins. Cell walls are made mostly of cellulose and lignin, which are relatively easy for plants to make. That is the reason for the difference is cell structure.

∙ 11y agoPlant cells have cell walls. Animal cells do not.Plants have a stiff cell wall it is sguare shaped, they have large vacuoles, and the cells hold food energy and water.Animals don't have cell walls, they are round, and they have very small vacuoles

∙ 11y agoPlant cells have cell wall because they cannot locomote and have to withstand a lot of stresses both internal and external.
To withstand these stresses and have rigidity they possess cell wall. The emergence of cell wall is due to evolution and persistence of the cell wall is due to natural selection.
Good question. Thank you.Hope this benefits you.

How can you tell if its a animal cell or plant cell?
If the cell has a cell wall and a vacuole and chloroplasts You can tell them apart by looking through the microscope and seeing if it has a cell wall. If it does then it is a plant cell. If it doesn't then it is an animal cell.
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 do plant cells have animal cells dont?
chloroplast and cell wall and a LARGE vacoule
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).
What is great different between plant and animal cell?
The greatest difference between the plant and animal cell is that the plant cell has a cellulose wall and the animal cell lacks this cell wall and is instead bordered by a cell mambrane.
Is a cellwall a plant or animal cell?
a cell wall is part of a plant cell. no animal cell has a cell wall.
Is no cell wall a plant cell or an animal cell?
an animal cell DOES NOT have a cell walla plant cell DOES have a cell wall
What does a plant cell wall and animal cell wall have in common?
An animal cell does not have a cell wall.
What is the different of animal cell to plant cell?
the plant cell have an cell wall but the animal cell havent cell wall , animal cell have lysosomes and the plant havent lysosomes.
Where is the cell wall located in an animal?
There is no cell wall in a animal cell but there is a cell wall in the plant cell.
What is the difference from animal cell and plant cell?
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 the animal cell wall does?
The animal does not have a cell wall, only a plant cell has one.
Is there a cell wall in an animal and plant cell?
No only the diatom (plant cell) has a cell wall
Is the cell wall in the animal or plant cell?
Plant Cell.
Is a cell wall in a plant or animal cell?
Plant
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.
