Based on my analysis of the plant cell diagram and the descriptions provided, I can now solve this labeling task by matching each description to the correct cell part:
1.
"Gel-like substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus" - This is the
Cytoplasm. It's the fluid that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
2.
"Controls many functions in the cell" - This refers to the
Nucleus. The nucleus contains the cell's DNA and controls cellular activities by regulating gene expression.
3.
"Protects the cell from injury and holds the shape of the cell" - This describes the
Cell Wall. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall outside the cell membrane that provides structural support and protection.
4.
"Makes sugar and starches through photosynthesis" - This is the function of
Chloroplasts. These organelles contain chlorophyll and are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) through photosynthesis.
5.
"Controls what comes in and out of the cell" - This refers to the
Cell Membrane (also called plasma membrane). It's a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
6.
"Stores biochemicals, helps in plant growth" - This describes the
Vacuole. Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that stores water, ions, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure for plant growth and structure.
7.
"Provides energy" - This refers to the
Mitochondrion. Often called the "powerhouse of the cell," mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for cellular processes.
These seven terms from the word bank correspond to the seven blank boxes in the diagram, each describing a key component of the plant cell with its specific function.
