Question

practice: labeling the cell
label the parts of each cell as well as which is a plant vs. an animal cell. put stars next to the organelles that
are unique to only plants or animals.

Explanation:

1. Identify Cell Types:

• The top cell is an animal cell (rounded shape, no cell wall/chloroplasts/large central vacuole).
• The bottom cell is a plant cell (rectangular shape, has cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole).

1. Label Organelles (Common to Both):

• Nucleus: Dark circle with a dot (nucleolus) inside, control center.
• Mitochondria: Oval with folded inner membrane, energy production.
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Network near nucleus, protein/lipid synthesis.
• Golgi Apparatus: Stacked membranes, processes proteins.
• Ribosomes: Small dots, protein synthesis.
• Vesicles: Small bubbles, transport.
• Cytoplasm: Jelly - like substance holding organelles.
• Cell Membrane (Animal) / Cell Wall + Membrane (Plant): Outer layer (flexible for animal, rigid for plant).

1. Label Unique Organelles (Starred):

• Animal - Centrioles: Star - shaped near nucleus (cell division).
• Plant - Chloroplasts: Oval with stacks (photosynthesis), Large Central Vacuole: Big empty space (storage), Cell Wall: Rigid outer layer.

Answer:

• Top (Animal Cell) Organelles:
• Nucleus (control center)
• Mitochondria (energy)
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (synthesis)
• Golgi Apparatus (processing)
• Ribosomes (protein)
• Vesicles (transport)
• Cytoplasm (holds)
• Cell Membrane (outer)
• Centrioles (cell division, unique)
• Bottom (Plant Cell) Organelles:
• Nucleus (control center)
• Mitochondria (energy)
• Endoplasmic Reticulum (synthesis)
• Golgi Apparatus (processing)
• Ribosomes (protein)
• Vesicles (transport)
• Cytoplasm (holds)
• Cell Wall (rigid outer, unique)
• Cell Membrane (inside wall)
• Chloroplasts (photosynthesis, unique)
• Large Central Vacuole (storage, unique)
