Cell walls hold cells stiff so trees can grow tall. Cell membranes are flexible so animals can bend and move about. No tree can scratch itself where it itches. There is a disease that makes people so stiff they can not move. That would happen to everyone if they had cell walls.

What accounts for an animal cell's less rigid shape compared to plant cells?

Animal cells lack a cell wall, present in plant cells, which provides rigidity and shape. Instead, animal cells have a flexible plasma membrane that allows for more dynamic changes in shape. Additionally, animal cells have a more varied cytoskeleton that provides support while allowing for movement and shape changes.

What do cell membranes do in an animal cell?

Okay well, the cell membranes sorta protect bad things from entering the cell. It also is needed for a cell to go through the act of mitosis. If the cell membrane breaks, the cell may not divide into 2. If the cells don't divide, I think it is possible that you can never change as in maybe height or actually, you can't really grow because if the cells grow, you grow. Cells are the base of all living things.
