Animal and plant cell parts worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have two diagrams: one of an animal cell and one of a plant cell. Each has blank boxes pointing to parts of the cell, and we need to fill them in using the word banks provided.

Step 1: Animal Cell Diagram

Word bank for animal cell:
- cytoplasm
- mitochondrion
- cell membrane
- nucleus
- lysosome

Looking at the diagram:

- The outer boundary of the animal cell is labeled — that’s the cell membrane.
- Inside, there’s a large round structure with a smaller circle inside — that’s the nucleus.
- There are small oval structures with lines inside — those are mitochondria (energy producers).
- There’s a small dot-like structure — likely a lysosome (digestive enzyme container).
- The jelly-like substance filling the cell is cytoplasm.

Matching arrows:

→ Left side, top arrow points to the outer edge → cell membrane
→ Left side, bottom arrow points to the big central sphere → nucleus
→ Right side, top arrow points to the jelly inside → cytoplasm
→ Right side, middle arrow points to an oval with lines → mitochondrion
→ Right side, bottom arrow points to a small dot → lysosome

Step 2: Plant Cell Diagram

Word bank for plant cell:
- cell wall
- cytoplasm
- mitochondrion
- cell membrane
- nucleus
- chloroplast

Plant cells have extra parts like cell wall and chloroplasts.

Looking at the diagram:

- Outer rigid layer → cell wall
- Just inside that → cell membrane
- Big empty space in middle → vacuole (not in word bank, so ignore)
- Round structure with inner circle → nucleus
- Oval shapes with stacks inside → chloroplasts (for photosynthesis)
- Other ovals with lines → mitochondria
- Filling substance → cytoplasm

Matching arrows:

→ Left side, top arrow points to an oval with lines → mitochondrion
→ Left side, bottom arrow points to the big round structure → nucleus
→ Right side, top arrow points to the outer rigid layer → cell wall
→ Right side, second arrow points to the thin line just inside → cell membrane
→ Right side, third arrow points to the jelly inside → cytoplasm
→ Right side, bottom arrow points to an oval with stacks → chloroplast

Now let’s write the final answers clearly.

Final Answer:
Animal Cell (left to right, top to bottom as per arrows):
- cell membrane
- nucleus
- cytoplasm
- mitochondrion
- lysosome

Plant Cell (left to right, top to bottom as per arrows):
- mitochondrion
- nucleus
- cell wall
- cell membrane
- cytoplasm
- chloroplast
