Detailed Solution

Plant cells have a rigid cellulose cell wall that provides structural support and protection as well as helps the cell maintain its shape. The cell wall also regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Animal cells, on the other hand, are devoid of a cell wall. They are instead surrounded by a plasma membrane, a thin, flexible layer of phospholipids and proteins.
