Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Animal Cells STEM
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 edgeCell Membrane
- Arrow pointing to the central pink circleNucleus
- Arrow pointing to the stacked blue wavy structureGolgi Apparatus
- Arrow pointing to one of the small oval brown structures with inner linesMitochondria
- 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/organellesCytoplasm

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
