Question

why do you think only plant cells need a cell wall while animal cells do not? (HOTS)

Answer 1

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

Animal cells do not have cell walls because they do not need them. Cell walls, which are found in plant cells, maintain cell shape, almost as if each cell has its own exoskeleton. This rigidity allows plants to stand upright without the need for bones .

I HOPE IT HELPS U.

Answer 2

Cell wall is plant cells necessary to provide rigidity and protection.

Explanation:

• Unlike animals, plants are immobile.
• Animals can protect themselves against dangers like harsh climatic conditions or predators by mobilising to safe regions.
• Plants lack the capability to do so.
• Cell wall, being stiff and strong, provides them the capability to withstand harsh conditions.
• Animals have an endo-skeleton that gives a shape and structure to them.
• Cell wall in plants gives a rigid shape and size to the plant cells defining their structure.
• The cell wall being hard enough also acts as a mode of primary defence for the plants against predators.
• Lignin present in plant cell wall protects plant against bacterial infection, desiccation in response to water stress and ultraviolet radiations.
