Plants have cell walls made up of cellulose which function in the support and protection of the cell.
Animals have only cell membranes made up of phospholipid bilayer and protein which protects and hold together the cell and its parts, it does not need to provide the support that plant cell was provide because animals have other forms of support ( i.e. exoskeletons and endoskeletons) and the lack of the cell wall allows for increased flexibility and advanced cell/tissue specialization, which plants cannot achieve.
Bacterial cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan and provide support for the cells much like plant cell walls.

What is the difference between the cell wall of a plant and animal cell?
The cell wall of a plant cell is made of cellulose and provides structural support and protection, while animal cells do not have a cell wall. Animal cells have a flexible cell membrane that surrounds and protects the cell instead.
Does an animal cell have a cell wall?
No, animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Is the animal cell wall composed of?
The animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, just a cell membrane. However, plant cells have cell walls, and those are made of a rigid layer of nonliving material, cellulose.
What structure do plant cells have that animal cells do not keeps them from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that provides structural support and prevents bursting in a hypotonic solution. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, which makes them more susceptible to bursting in a hypotonic environment.
What type of cell has a cell wall besides animal and plant cell?
Prokaryotes (bacteria) have cell walls but no organelles.
What is the animal cell wall made of?
cytoplasm
What is the difference between the cell wall of a plant and animal cell?

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 does a plant cell wall and animal cell wall have in common?
An animal cell does not have a cell wall.
Does an animal cell have a cell wall?
No, animal cells do not have a cell wall.
What dos the cell wall do for the animal cell?
An animal cell has a cell membrane, not a cell wall.
What does not have a cell wall?
The animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, while the plant cell does.

What the animal cell wall does?
The animal does not have a cell wall, only a plant cell has one.
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.
Which cells has a cell wall?
Fungi has a cell wall, which is made up of chitin.
What structure do plant cells have that animal cells do not keeps them from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that provides structural support and prevents bursting in a hypotonic solution. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, which makes them more susceptible to bursting in a hypotonic environment.
