Answer 2

Plant cells can withstand much greater changes in surrounding due to the presence of cell walls.  

Cell walls are an extra covering in plant cells and absent in animal cells. Cell walls are dead in nature and are made up of cellulose and fully permeable. It provides the plant’s cells with mechanical strength.

When outside conditions change like added pressure or exertion, the cell walls swell up and exert an equal and opposite pressure thus preventing it from bursting or damaging.
