Both! The kind of outer layer depends on the type of cell - (animal or plant). A plant cell has a cell wall but the animal cell has a cell membrane. The animal cell does not have a cell wall because, a cell wall would be more hard and "strict." The animal cell needs to be more flexible and "loose."

I hope this truly helps you with your homework, worksheets, notes, etc.

Is a cell wall a cell membrane?

No it is not. A cell wall is a rigid outer structure on a plant or algae cell. A cell membrane is a flexible outer layer on every cell, but doesn't provide much protection. answered by Shelby 7th grade
