cell membrane
The cells and organs surrounding it give the animal cell its shape. The membrane is totally flexible and confers no shape to the cell.
The cytoskeleton is the part of the animal cell that gives shape to the cell. It is a network of protein filaments that provides structural support and helps maintain the cell's shape.
The cell wall is the part of the plant cell that gives it its shape. The cell wall is thick and made mostly out of cellulose fiber.
The only part of the animal cell that gives it a certain shape is the cell membrane. Otherwise, the shape of an animal cell is considered irregular due to lack of a solid cell wall.

The cell wall is the structure that gives plant cells their shape and support. It is made of cellulose and provides rigidity and protection to the cell.
Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall.
An animal cell does not have a cell wall because animal cells have a flexible cell membrane that allows for movement and shape changes. Additionally, animal cells do not need the rigid support that a cell wall provides in plant cells.
By definition, animal cells have no cell wall -- only plant cells do. That being said, the major function of the cell wall in plant cells is to control cell pressure due to the influx and exit of water into and out of the cell. Turgor in the plant cell is part of what gives a plant structure and helps it "stand up." Animal cells do not need this characteristic, as they have other mechanisms for maintaining structure and shape.
Plant cells have a cell wall that animal cells do not have. The cell wall provides structure and support to the plant cell, helping it maintain its shape and integrity.
The Cytoskelton!
It is the cell wall which gives the cell a definite shape
The cell membrane in animal cells and the cell wall in plant cells give the cell its form, shape, and protection.
The cell wall protects and gives shape to a plant cell.
An animal cell does not have support, thus it has a indefinite shape. Only plant cells have a cell wall, which supports it and gives it a rectangular shape. the cell membrane keeps the cell together, but not support.
The cell wall is the structure that gives plant cells their shape and support. It is made of cellulose and provides rigidity and protection to the cell.
the cytoskeleton
That is the cell wall.It is the outer most layer.
if its a plant cell its the cell wall..... if its an animal cell its the cell membrane
Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall.
The outer part of an animal cell is the cell membrane. This structure surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It helps maintain cell shape and provides protection to the cell.
