Well, a cell wall gives the plant cell it's straight structure, which makes the plant stand up straight. Without a cell wall the plant wouldn't be able to stand up straight and feed from the sun. On the other hand, If an animal had a cell wall, it'd be too straight, so everytime i walked, its foot would snap. Hence why stems can be broken so easily

What is every plant and animal cell surrounded by?

Every plant and animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. Plant cells have both a cell membrane and a cell wall because they can create there own food through photosynthesis. Animal cells have to absorb food, so they cant have a cell wall.


Is a nucleus membrane found in a animal or plant cell?

Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus that is surrounded by a nuclear envelope.


Which Cells do NOT produce cell walls?

Animal cells do not produce cell walls. This is a key difference between animal and plant cells, as plant cells are surrounded by a rigid cell wall composed of cellulose, while animal cells have a flexible cell membrane that does not contain a cell wall.


What are 2 difference between animal cells and plant cells?

Animal cells - 1 animal cells are generally small in size 2 cell wall is absent Plant cells - 1 plant cells are are larger than animal cells 2 the plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose


Do anima l cells have a cell wall?

No, animal cells do not have a cell wall. They are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which is a flexible boundary that allows for movement and communication between cells. The absence of a cell wall is a distinguishing feature of animal cells compared to plant cells.


Every cell is surrounded by a selectively permeable boundary called what?

Cell membarnae in animal and plant cells, cell wall also in plant cells, controls the entry+exit of a cell


Where is nucleus found in a plant and an animal cell?

In a plant cell, the nucleus is typically found near the center of the cell, surrounded by cytoplasm and other organelles. In an animal cell, the nucleus is also located near the center, surrounded by cytoplasm and organelles. Both plant and animal cells have a membrane-bound nucleus that contains genetic material, such as DNA.


Is the absence of cell wall in animals cells?

Yes, animal cells do not have a cell wall. Instead, animal cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane that helps to maintain the cell's structure and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


What feature do plant cells share with prokaryotic cells but not animal cells?

Plant cells and prokaryotic cells share the presence of a cell wall, which is a rigid structure that provides support and protection. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, as they are surrounded by a flexible plasma membrane instead.


Does animal cells generally a cell wall to enclose the cell?

Only plant cells have cell walls as well as a cell membrane Animal cells only have a cell membrane


What the surrounds the cell?

In plant cells, a cell membrane and a cell wall surround the cell to aid in support and protection. In animal cells, only a cell membrane surrounds the cell and controls what substances go in and go out of the cell.


Do animal cells have better protection than plant cell?

A plant cell doesnt necessarily have better protection than an animal cell, considering the rest of the biological organisms make up. Both plant and animal cells are susceptible to bacteria and Viruses, which are ever evolving to counter the defense systems of their host's cells. But i believe the answer your looking for is the fact that plant cells have a rigid cell wall while animal cells have a phospholipid bilayer membrane?
