An animal cell is defined as a eukariotic cell in which all the organelles are contained in a membrane. Organelles included in an animal cell is a Nucleus, the Centrioles, an Endoplasmic Reticulum, a Golgi Complex, Lysosomes, the Mitochandria, and the Ribosome. Most animal cells have at least 3 main parts to it which are Nucleus, cell membrane, and Cytoplasam. The nucleus of the cell gives the cell direction. The nucleus of the animal cell is bonded by a membrane. Cell membrane protects the animal cells. They keep harmful objects out of the cell and allow helpful objects to enter. Cytoplasam is what fills the majority of an animal cell. It helps give the cell shape and keeps organelles in their correct place. An animal cell is more smaller than the plant cell. As apposed to the plant cell, an animal cell varies in size is irregular in shape. An animal cell does not have a large vacuole or cell wall, but it has organelles just like the plant cell which are Centrioles, Lysosomes, Cilia and Flagella. Trillions of animal cells make up a living thing or organism. Animal cells are considered as a self-sufficient cell because it has nano chemical factories. The cell can generate what it needs. For example, Golgi complex can generate a cell membrane. Unlike the plant cell, an animal cell can not make its own food.

Cellular Respiration is a set of metabolic reactions an processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to edenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then releases waste products. The reactions involved in resperation are catabolic reactions, which break large moleculs into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process, as weak so-called "High Energy" bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the producs. Resperation is one of the main ways a cell releases chmical energy to fule the cellular cativity. Cellular Resperation is considered an exothermic redox reactions which release heat. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves. Although technically, cellular resperation is a combustion reactions, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell because of the slow release of energy from the series of reactions. Nutrients that are commonly used by animal and plant cells in resperation include sugar, amino acids, and fatty acids, and the most common oxidizing agent ( electron acceptors ) in molecular oxygen (O2). The chemical energy stored in the ATP (its third phosphate group is weakly bonded to the rest of the molecules and is cheaply broken allowing stronger bonds to form, thereby transfering energy for the use by the cell) can then be used to drive processes requiering energy, including biosynthesis iocomotion or transportation of the molecules across the cell membrane. There are 2 types of cellular resperation. The 2 types of cellular respiration are Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Resperation. The difference between aerobic resperation and anaerobic respeiation is that aerobic respiration relies on oxygen and that in anaerobic respiration, cells convert glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide to water. It has 3 stages known as glycoslyis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. This produces ATP which is needed to by the cell to do work.
