c) plant cells have a cell nucleus and animal cells do not.
d) animal cells perform respiration and plant cells do not.

Plant cells have a rigid cell - wall made of cellulose which provides structural support and protection. Animal cells lack a cell - wall. Both plant and animal cells can store water, have a cell nucleus, and perform respiration.

Answer:

A. Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not.
