Label parts of an amoeba worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s look at the diagram and match each label to the correct part of the amoeba.

We have four labels to place:
- cytoplasm
- nucleus
- cell membrane
- food vacuole

Step 1: Look at the outer edge of the amoeba — that’s the boundary that holds everything inside. That’s called the cell membrane. The arrow pointing to the outer edge (bottom right) should be labeled “cell membrane”.

Step 2: Inside the amoeba, there’s a big blue circle in the middle — that’s the control center of the cell. That’s the nucleus. The arrow pointing to it (top right) should be labeled “nucleus”.

Step 3: There are small circles inside the amoeba — one near the top left has little bits inside it. Those are where food is stored or being digested. That’s a food vacuole. The arrow pointing to that (top left) should be labeled “food vacuole”.

Step 4: The rest of the pink stuff filling up the inside — that’s the jelly-like material where all the parts float around. That’s the cytoplasm. The arrow pointing to the general inner area (bottom left) should be labeled “cytoplasm”.

Now let’s double-check:

- Top left arrow → points to small circle with bits inside → food vacuole ✔
- Top right arrow → points to large blue circle → nucleus ✔
- Bottom left arrow → points to pink inner area → cytoplasm ✔
- Bottom right arrow → points to outer edge → cell membrane ✔

All matches make sense based on basic biology of an amoeba.

Final Answer:
Top left box: food vacuole
Top right box: nucleus
Bottom left box: cytoplasm
Bottom right box: cell membrane
