An animal cell is a living organism as it requires energy to survive. This energy is derived from various metabolic processes within the cell. Metabolism requires nutrients ( which need to be taken up by the cell) and various enzymes ( catalysts) that actually digest the nutrients. The enzymes are produced within the cell itself from cell organelles ( tiny organs), and the waste products after the digestion are then removed by the cell membrane. Like humans, cells will die if they are not fed or watered, or their waste removal systems malfunction.
