Learn how the cells in the body work together to sustain life. slide 1 of 4. How an Animal Cell Works All animals -- no matter what their size-- are made up of tiny cells. Each one of these cells can grow, reproduce, respond to changes in the environment, move, and metabolize food for fuel. So how does an animal cell work?
