Plant cells have cell walls; animal cells do not. As noted in the description of the prokaryotic cell wall, the cell must also have a plasma membrane. Plant cells have cell walls in addition to plasma membranes, not instead of plasma membranes. Plant cell walls are composed all or partially of a carbohydrate called cellulose, which is quite different from the peptidoglycan of prokaryotic cell walls. The primary function of the cell wall is support, and in-conjunction with the central vacuole, to create turgor (stiffness) in plant structures like leave.
