Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells do not have cell walls. The cell membrane is a protective layer that surrounds every cell. It separates it from its external environment. It is found just inside the cell wall and is made up of complex lipids (fats) and proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleus. The nucleus is the “brain” of the cell because it directs what happens within the cell. It contains the cell’s genetic information called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The DNA provides the information required for making the proteins that control the activities of the cell.
