  • To be honest, cell types are so varied that you can't really accurately describe a "typical" cell because it depends on what cell type you mean. Cells from different tissues within the same animal will look totally different. Broadly speaking animal cells have a lipid-membrane but no cell wall. They have a highly compartmentalised cell structure with different functioning parts packaged into their own space within the cell (such as nucleus, Golgi apparatus and so on - these are generally called organelles). They might have a highly structured cytoskeleton such as microtubules which act as a sort of fibrous skeleton for the cell. However they might largely lack a cytoskeleton. So to summarise: it's terribly variable.
