C and D animal cells only have a cell membrane while a plant has a wall and a membrane, also the wall is hard while the membrane is flexible

Nia Clark · Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

The cell wall is a rigid structure which is made up of a carbohydrate called cellulose. The rigid structure of the cell wall gives the plant cells their definite shapes. In contrast, the cell membrane, which is usually find in the animal cells is a flexible structure and is not rigid at all.
