How does the cell wall of a plant cell compare to the plasma membrane of an animal cell?

• The cell wall controls what enters and leaves the plant cell; the plasma membrane provides mostly structure and support.

• The cell wall converts sunlight into sugars; the plasma membrane controls energy production in the cell.

• The cell wall provides structure and support; the plasma membrane controls the substances that enter and leave the cell.

• The cell wall provides structure and support; the plasma membrane is surrounded by a structure that contains genetic information.
