C.
Plant cells have a rigid structure, while animal cells have a more flexible structure.
D.
Animal cells undergo cell division; plant cells do not divide.

Answer 1

C

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall (mostly cellulose) and often a large central vacuole that maintains turgor, giving them a more rigid structure. Animal cells lack a cell wall and have only a flexible plasma membrane.
