Step 1: Labeling the Animal Cell
Below is the labeled version of the animal cell diagram based on the standard structure of an animal cell:
1.
Cell Membrane
2.
Nucleus
3.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
4.
Ribosome
5.
Mitochondrion
6.
Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Body)
7.
Nucleolus
8.
Cytoplasm
9.
Lysosome
10.
Vacuole
11.
Cytoskeleton

Step 2: Functions of Each Cell Part
Now, let's provide the function of each labeled cell part:
|
Cell Part |
Function of Cell Part |
|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 12. Nucleus | Contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities. |
| 13. Endoplasmic Reticulum | A network of membranes involved in protein synthesis and transport within the cell. |
| 14. Ribosome | Sites of protein synthesis; can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER. |
| 15. Cytoplasm | Gel-like substance inside the cell membrane where most cellular activities occur. |
| 16. Nucleolus | Produces ribosomes by synthesizing ribosomal RNA (rRNA). |
| 17. Golgi Body | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. |
| 18. Cell Membrane | Regulates what enters and exits the cell; provides structural support and protection. |
| 19. Cytoskeleton | Provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and aids in movement (e.g., division). |
| 20. Lysosome | Contains digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. |
| 21. Mitochondrion | The powerhouse of the cell; produces energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. |
| 22. Vacuole | Stores nutrients, waste products, and water; helps maintain osmotic balance. |
