B
The plant cell has a cell wall instead of a cell membrane.
C
The plant cell has chloroplasts while the animal cell does not.
D
The plant cell is rigid because of the cell wall.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In bacterial and plant cells, a cell wall is attached to the plasma membrane on its outside surface. The plasma membrane is present in both plant cells and animal cells. Hence statement 2 is not correct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement is true about a cell wall but not a cell membrane? It is made mostly of cellulose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells are somewhat unique because unlike animal cells, plant cells contain both a cell wall and cell membrane. Animal cells only have the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable covering surrounding the outside of the cell.
