Listed below are the Cell Organelles of an animal cell along with their functions. The cell membrane is a double-layered membrane made up of phospholipids that surrounds the entire cell. The membrane is selectively permeable and allows only certain molecules to pass through.

The animal cell is made up of several structural organelles enclosed in the plasma membrane, that enable it to function properly, eliciting mechanisms that benefit the host (animal). The working together of all cells gives an animal its ability to move, to reproduce, to respond to stimuli, to digest and absorb food, etc.

It is the outermost membrane of an animal cell having a thickness of 5-10 nm that separates the interior of the cell from outside. The cell membrane is selectively permeable in nature, consisting of a lipid bilayer with proteins, glycolipids, and cholesterol attached to them in a specific pattern.
