Answer:

Plants need a rigid structure. Animal cells have flexible cell membranes. So animal cells can have a variety of shapes, but plant cells can not, they have to take the shape of their cell walls. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.
