Answer:

Plant cell needs cell wall whereas animal cell do not because the plants need rigid structure so that they can grow up and out so that they get lots of sunlight for making their food. Animal cells have flexible cell membranes. So animal cells can have various shapes, but plant cells cannot and they have to take the shape of their cell walls.

Answer:

Hi

Step-by-step explanation:

A plant cell needs a cell wall because they need a rigid structure to grow up and out. In addition, a plant cell wall makes sure that the cell does not burst as water flows in-- a concept called "internal turgor pressure". It helps to maintain the shape and osmolarity of the cells. Animal cells don't need to do that.
