Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Animal and plant cell
Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying and labeling the parts of both animal and plant cells based on the provided diagrams and lists.

Top Diagram: Animal Cell



The top image is an animal cell, which lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts. Here’s how to label it using the list:

List (Top):
1. Nucleus
2. Nucleolus
3. Cytoplasm
4. Cell membrane
5. Lysosome
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Golgi Apparatus
8. Mitochondria
9. Ribosome

Now, let’s identify each structure:

- Nucleus: The large pink oval structure in the center with a yellow dot inside.
- → The yellow dot inside the nucleus is the nucleolus.
- Cytoplasm: The blue gel-like substance filling the cell (everything inside the cell membrane).
- Cell membrane: The outer boundary of the cell (thin blue line around the cell).
- Lysosome: Small yellow round structures (look like tiny circles with dots).
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Green stacked structures (rough ER has ribosomes attached; smooth ER doesn't). The green stacks are Rough ER (since they have ribosomes).
- Golgi Apparatus: Orange, folded stack (like a stack of pancakes).
- Mitochondria: Pink bean-shaped structures with inner folds (cristae).
- Ribosome: Tiny dots (some on the ER, some free in cytoplasm).

#### Labeling the Top Diagram (Animal Cell):

From the diagram:
1. Top left arrow pointing to nucleus: → Nucleus
2. Arrow pointing to small yellow circle inside nucleus: → Nucleolus
3. Arrow pointing to blue area (cytoplasm): → Cytoplasm
4. Outer edge of cell: → Cell membrane
5. Small yellow circles (lysosomes): → Lysosome
6. Green stacked structure (with ribosomes): → Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Orange folded stack: → Golgi Apparatus
8. Pink bean-shaped organelles: → Mitochondria
9. Tiny dots on ER or floating: → Ribosome

Bottom Diagram: Plant Cell



This is a plant cell, identifiable by:
- Cell wall (outer rigid layer)
- Chloroplasts (green oval structures)
- Large central vacuole

List (Bottom):
1. Ribosome
2. Cytoplasm
3. Golgi Apparatus
4. Mitochondria
5. Chloroplasts
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Vacuole
8. Nucleus

Now, identify each:

- Cell wall: Outermost green rigid layer (not listed but visible).
- Cytoplasm: Yellow area inside the cell (between organelles).
- Vacuole: Large purple central structure.
- Chloroplasts: Green oval structures (contain chlorophyll).
- Nucleus: Pink oval with a nucleolus (centered).
- Mitochondria: Blue bean-shaped structures.
- Golgi Apparatus: Pink folded structure.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum: Orange network near nucleus.
- Ribosome: Tiny black dots (on ER or free).

#### Labeling the Bottom Diagram (Plant Cell):

From the diagram:
1. Top left arrow pointing to nucleus: → Nucleus
2. Arrow pointing to small black dots (ribosomes): → Ribosome
3. Arrow pointing to yellow area (cytoplasm): → Cytoplasm
4. Arrow pointing to blue bean-shaped organelles: → Mitochondria
5. Arrow pointing to green oval structures: → Chloroplasts
6. Arrow pointing to orange network: → Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Arrow pointing to large purple structure: → Vacuole
8. Arrow pointing to pink folded structure: → Golgi Apparatus

Note: The cell wall is not in the list but is present — it's the outermost green layer.

Final Answer: Labeling Guide



#### Top (Animal Cell) Labels:
- Top left (nucleus): Nucleus
- Inside nucleus (yellow dot): Nucleolus
- Blue area: Cytoplasm
- Outer edge: Cell membrane
- Small yellow circles: Lysosome
- Green stacked structure: Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Orange stack: Golgi Apparatus
- Pink bean shapes: Mitochondria
- Tiny dots: Ribosome

#### Bottom (Plant Cell) Labels:
- Top left (nucleus): Nucleus
- Black dots: Ribosome
- Yellow area: Cytoplasm
- Blue bean shapes: Mitochondria
- Green ovals: Chloroplasts
- Orange network: Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Large purple structure: Vacuole
- Pink folded structure: Golgi Apparatus

📌 Summary


- Animal Cell has: nucleus, nucleolus, lysosomes, mitochondria, ER, Golgi, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane.
- Plant Cell has all of the above plus: cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole.

You can now fill in the blanks accordingly based on the arrows and the lists.
