A plant cell has a cell wall and a cell membrane. The cell wall is the tough outer-layer that holds the cells shape. The membrane is a layer that controls what enters the cell.

Animal cells only have a semipermeable cell membrane this both holds the cell together and controls the substances that enter the cell.
