Solution

Rigidity of plant and animal cell:

  1. Plant cells have a cell wall that gives rigidity to the plant cells which is absent in an animal cell.
  2. Plant cells and animal cells differ from each other concerning some organelles.
  3. Cell walls are the rigid outer covering layer of the plant cell.
  4. It is made up of cellulose and polysaccharides that makes it tough and gives rigidity to plant cells.
  5. This is the reason that plant cells remain more rigid than animal cells.
