An animal cell is a form of eukaryotic cell which make up many tissues in animals. The animal cell is distinct from other eukaryotes, most notably plant cells, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and they have smaller vacuoles. Due to the lack of a rigid cell wall, animal cells appear to be circular (though are often deformed by surrounding cells) under microscopes - in three dimensions the cells are normally spherical.[citation needed] Human cells are biologically categorized as animal cells.

Animal cell is the smallest component of life in a living animal.
Animal cell starts at the cell membrane (not a cell wall..plants have cell walls, animals do not) and encloses the rest of the cell which lives, feeds, and reproduces by mitosis.

Hey Mikhil, don't forget about the nuculus!!!
Also, animal cells have cell membranes, not cell walls. Plant cells have cell walls.
