Animal fibers are fibers from animals and consist mainly of protein. They contain not only silk fiber from silkworms and fur fiber from sheep wool but also collagen fiber extracted from animal skins, chitin from crustaceans, and shellfish like shrimp and chitosan made by deacetylating chitin.
Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.
