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.


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.


What is each cell surrounded by that separates the interior of the cell from its surroundings?

For animal cells it is the cell membrane, for plant cells it is the 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 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?

What cell is in plant cells and animal cells?

There are no cells IN cells, each cell is a separate entity be it a plant cell or an animal cell.


Compare animal and plants cells?

Plant cells have three structures that animal cells lack. Plant cells have chloroplasts to capture the energy from the sun. Plant cells have a large central vacuole for storage of water, nutrients, salts and other materials. Animal cells do have vacuoles but on a much smaller scale. The third main difference is that plant cells are surrounded by both a cell membrane and cell wall. Animal cells do not have the neat, organized shape that plant cells demonstrate due to this cell wall.
