Which cellular structure in plant cells is most responsible for having less flexible animal cells

The cellulose cell wall in plants

Explanation:

All eukaryotic cells, both plant and animals cells have a cell membrane which is an outer covering of the contents of the cell. Also plants and animals cells have many structures and cell organelles in common such as the mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, golgi bodies, etc. However, plant cells have a more rigid structure than animals cells because of the presence of an extra structure known as the cell wall, covering their cell membranes.

The cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell, providing structural support and protection. The cell wall is composed mainly of cellulose, but contains proteins as well as other polysaccharides too.

Another structure present in plants that serves to maintain the rigidity of the plant cell is the large central vacuole. The main role of the vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure by pushing the plasma membrane against the cell wall due to the pressure of fluids contained within it.
