This image is a coloring worksheet for an animal cell. The task is to color the different organelles according to the provided key.
Since I am an AI and cannot physically color the image, I will provide you with a detailed guide on how to complete this task correctly by identifying each organelle and its corresponding color from the key.
I will go through the list in the "Color Key" and identify where each part is located in the diagram.

Step 1: Identify and Color DNA
-
Color: Yellow
-
Location: DNA is found inside the nucleus. In the diagram, it is represented by the dark, web-like material within the large central circle (the nucleus).
Step 2: Identify and Color the Nucleus
-
Color: Blue
-
Location: This is the large, circular organelle in the center of the cell. It contains the DNA.
Step 3: Identify and Color the Nucleolus
-
Color: Light Blue
-
Location: This is the small, solid circle inside the nucleus.
Step 4: Identify and Color the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
-
Color: Light Red
-
Location: There are two types shown:
-
Rough ER: The membrane system studded with small dots (ribosomes) that surrounds the nucleus.
-
Smooth ER: The membrane system without dots, often shown as tubular structures near the rough ER.
Step 5: Identify and Color the Cytoplasm
-
Color: Keep White (Do not color)
-
Location: This is the entire area inside the cell membrane but outside all the other organelles. It's the background "jelly" of the cell.
Step 6: Identify and Color the Cell Membrane
-
Color: Dark Orange
-
Location: This is the outermost boundary of the entire cell.
Step 7: Identify and Color the Mitochondria
-
Color: Purple
-
Location: These are the oval-shaped organelles with internal folds (cristae). There are several scattered throughout the cytoplasm.
Step 8: Identify and Color the Golgi Bodies
-
Color: Dark Purple
-
Location: These are the stacked, flattened sacs (cisternae), typically shown near the nucleus and ER.
Step 9: Identify and Color the Lysosomes
-
Color: Dark Red/Maroon
-
Location: These are the small, round vesicles scattered in the cytoplasm.
Step 10: Identify and Color the Ribosomes
-
Color: Black
-
Location: These are the tiny dots. They can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the Rough ER.
Step 11: Identify and Color the Centrioles
-
Color: Red Orange
-
Location: These are the small, cylindrical structures located near the nucleus, often shown as a pair of perpendicular rods.

By following this guide, you can accurately color the cell diagram according to the instructions. Remember to use the correct shade for each organelle as specified in the key.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of animal and plant cell coloring worksheet.
