Plants cannot move and thus require more protection than animals (unicellular and multi-cellular) which are able to move away from danger. Cell walls provide structural strength against mechanical damage as well as invasion from fungi and bacterial pathogens.
Plants do not have a central or exoskeleton like animals and insects and have to rely on internal structural strength to support themselves. This enables them to grow towards light, water or nutrient sources.
Plant cells need a cell wall to maintain shape, structure and rigidity. Animal cells don't need cell walls because they have micro filaments and micro tubules to hold the shape of the cell.
The cell wall of the plant cell is made up of cellulose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate.
Yep, cells have cell walls, which are very thick - they help a plant in numerous functions, and since people don't digest cellulose, which plants are made of, this comes out the other end after it's eaten - cellulose is a very tough material and most cells of a plant, perhaps all of them, have it.
Because animals have bones to perform this function as they also need to be able to move. Plants do not move anywhere near as much so they need to have rigid cells to support them and keep them upright. I'm also thinking that their cell structure makes it easier for them to grow
Its cause of the cell walls. When water enters the cell because it is hypotonic there is a turgor pressure on the cell wall which causes it to become rigid.
Plant cells need those walls to prevent water from breaking out and wilting
Google it?
why do plants cells have a cell wall to support them and to give plants a rigid shape?Why isn't it in the animal cell?
