Both protexts the organisms' organelles which are inside the cell.
Animal Cell: Cell Membrane
Plant Cell: Cell Wall
Cell
wall is present only in plants, it is not found in all organisms.
Compared to the cell membrane, a cell wall is thick and has a rigid
structure. You can see it in a light microscope, because it is visible.
It serves as the protective cover that surrounds the plasma membrane in a
plant cell. Cell membrane is composed of lipids. Cell walls can be made
up of cellulose or peptidoglycan or chitin.
