Correct Answer:

have rigid cell wall

Explanation:

Living organisms are made up of microscopic units called cells. The cells for animals, plants, fungi and bacteria have many similarities, and some fundamental differences. All living cells have cytoplasmic membranes, but animal cells do not have cell walls, and plant and bacterial cells do. As bacteria has cell wall, it can be considered closer to plants which have cell walls but to animals which lack cell wall.
