Explanation:

To solve this animal cell organelle identification, we match each number to the correct organelle using the word bank and cell structure knowledge:

Step 1: Recall Organelle Functions/Structures

• 1: Cytoplasm (gel - like substance in the cell).
• 2: Centriole (involved in cell division, looks like a small cylindrical structure).
• 3: Vesicle (small membrane - bound sac, often for transport).
• 4: Microtubule (part of the cytoskeleton, long, thin structures).
• 5: Lysosome (contains digestive enzymes, small circular organelles).
• 6: Vacuole (storage organelle, larger in plant cells but present in animal cells too).
• 7: Cell Membrane (outer boundary of the animal cell).
• 8: Mitochondrion (powerhouse of the cell, has a folded inner membrane).
• 9: Rough ER (has ribosomes on its surface, involved in protein synthesis).
• 10: Ribosome (small, dot - like structures, site of protein synthesis).
• 11: Nucleus (control center of the cell, contains genetic material).
• 12: Nucleolus (inside the nucleus, involved in ribosome production).
• 13: Nuclear Membrane (surrounds the nucleus).
• 14: Smooth ER (involved in lipid synthesis, no ribosomes).
• 15: Golgi Body (modifies, sorts, and packages proteins).

Step 2: Match Numbers to Organelles

Number	Organelle	Number	Organelle	Number	Organelle
2	Centriole	7	Cell Membrane	12	Nucleolus
3	Vesicle	8	Mitochondrion	13	Nuclear Membrane
4	Microtubule	9	Rough ER	14	Smooth ER
5	Lysosome	10	Ribosome	15	Golgi Body

If you need to identify a specific number (e.g., number 7 is the Cell Membrane, number 8 is Mitochondrion, etc.), use the above table. For example, if identifying number 7:

Step 1: Analyze number 7’s location

Number 7 is on the outer boundary of the animal cell.

Step 2: Match to word bank

The organelle forming the outer boundary of an animal cell is the Cell Membrane (from the word bank: “CELL MEMBRANE”).

Answer:

(for number 7 as an example):

1. Cell Membrane

(Repeat the process for other numbers as needed, using the table and structure - function matching.)
