Animal cell structure. Because animal cells [6] do not have cell walls to protect them like plant cells, they require other specialized structures to sustain external mechanical forces. All animal cells are encased within a cell membrane made of a thin lipid bilayer that protects the cell from exposure to the outside environment.
A plant cell wall was first observed and named (simply as a "wall") by Robert Hooke in 1665. [3] However, "the dead excrusion product of the living protoplast" was forgotten, for almost three centuries, being the subject of scientific interest mainly as a resource for industrial processing or in relation to animal or human health.
Some eukaryotic cells (plant cells and fungal cells) also have a cell wall. Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome (DNA), ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. [2] The genetic material is freely found in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids, which are usually circular.
The phenomenon is also observed in protists that have cell walls. [3] This system is not seen in animal cells, as the absence of a cell wall would cause the cell to lyse when under too much pressure. [4] The pressure exerted by the osmotic flow of water is called turgidity.

Plant cells have cell walls and a cell membrane,unlike plant cells,animal cells don't have cell walls,this makes it harder to stack animal cells.This is also another reason that plants stand tall and firm.Another thing that seperates these two cells is that plant cells have chlorapast and animal cells don't when the chlorapast dies the plant or ...

It occurs in a hypotonic environment, where water moves into the cell by osmosis and causes its volume to increase to the point where the volume exceeds the membrane's capacity and the cell bursts. The presence of a cell wall prevents the membrane from bursting, so cytolysis only occurs in animal and protozoa cells which do not have cell walls.
