Explanation:
We are given a diagram of an animal cell and a list of six vocabulary words to label the parts:
- Nucleus
- Cell Membrane
- Mitochondria
- Vacuole
- Golgi Apparatus
- Cytoplasm
Let’s identify each part based on standard animal cell structure:
1.
Nucleus: The large, round, pinkish structure in the center — it contains genetic material and is usually the most prominent organelle. One arrow points directly to it.
2.
Cell Membrane: The outer boundary of the cell (the thin line surrounding the whole cell). It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
3.
Mitochondria: Small, oval-shaped structures with internal folds (cristae); often called the “powerhouse” of the cell. There are several scattered in the cytoplasm.
4.
Vacuole: In animal cells, vacuoles are small and numerous (unlike plant cells, which have one large central vacuole). They look like small clear or light-colored sacs.
5.
Golgi Apparatus: Looks like a stack of flattened pouches (like a stack of pancakes), often near the nucleus. In the diagram, there’s a blue wavy stacked structure — that’s the Golgi.
6.
Cytoplasm: The jelly-like substance filling the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus — everything *except* the nucleus and membrane is in the cytoplasm. So any label pointing to the background “fill” area (not specific organelles) is cytoplasm.
Now match the arrows:
- Arrow pointing to the
outer edge →
Cell Membrane
- Arrow pointing to the
central pink circle →
Nucleus
- Arrow pointing to the
stacked blue wavy structure →
Golgi Apparatus
- Arrow pointing to one of the
small oval brown structures with inner lines →
Mitochondria
- Arrow pointing to a
small clear sac (likely one of the smaller rounded shapes) →
Vacuole
- Arrow pointing to the
background area inside the cell but outside the nucleus/organelles →
Cytoplasm
Since there are 6 labels and 6 arrows, each word is used once.
Final matching (based on typical layout of such diagrams):
Top arrow (pointing down to outer edge) →
Cell Membrane
Left upper arrow (to stacked blue structure) →
Golgi Apparatus
Left middle arrow (to one oval brown shape) →
Mitochondria
Left lower arrow (to small clear sac) →
Vacuole
Right arrow (to background area) →
Cytoplasm
Bottom arrow (to central pink circle) →
Nucleus
But wait — we must assign exactly one word per blank, and there are 6 blanks around the cell.
Standard labeling for this common worksheet is:
- Top blank (arrow pointing to outer boundary):
Cell Membrane
- Upper-left blank (arrow to stacked structure):
Golgi Apparatus
- Middle-left blank (arrow to oval organelle):
Mitochondria
- Lower-left blank (arrow to small sac):
Vacuole
- Right blank (arrow to space around organelles):
Cytoplasm
- Bottom blank (arrow to central pink circle):
Nucleus
Yes — that matches all six terms with no repeats.
Final Answer:
Cell Membrane, Golgi Apparatus, Mitochondria, Vacuole, Cytoplasm, Nucleus
