Let's solve this
Cell Biology worksheet step by step. The task involves:
1.
Labeling the parts of an animal cell and a plant cell.
2.
Completing a table with the functions of each cell structure.
3.
Shading in green those structures that are only found in plant cells.

✔ Step 1: Label the Diagrams
####
1. Animal Cell
The diagram shows:
- A large, dark circle (nucleus)
- Small oval shapes (mitochondria)
- A membrane around the cell
- Some small dots (possibly ribosomes or other organelles)
From the arrows:
1.
Nucleus – the control center of the cell.
2.
Mitochondrion – site of cellular respiration (energy production).
3.
Cytoplasm – gel-like substance where organelles float.
4.
Cell membrane – controls what enters and exits the cell.
✔ So, labels are:
1. Nucleus
2. Mitochondrion
3. Cytoplasm
4. Cell membrane
> *(Note: The diagram may show more than four parts, but only four are labeled. We’ll assume these are the main ones.)*

2. Plant Cell
This diagram includes:
- A nucleus
- Mitochondria
- Chloroplasts (green oval structures)
- A large central vacuole
- Cell wall (outer rigid layer)
- Cell membrane (inside the cell wall)
- Cytoplasm
Arrows point to:
1.
Nucleus
2.
Chloroplast
3.
Cell wall
4.
Vacuole
5.
Cell membrane
6.
Cytoplasm
7.
Mitochondrion
✔ Labels:
1. Nucleus
2. Chloroplast
3. Cell wall
4. Vacuole
5. Cell membrane
6. Cytoplasm
7. Mitochondrion
> *(Note: The order might vary slightly depending on arrow placement, but these are the correct structures.)*

✔ Step 2: Complete the Table – Functions of Cell Parts
| Cell Structure | Function (job) |
|---------------------|----------------|
|
Nucleus | Controls cell activities; stores DNA; directs protein synthesis. |
|
Cytoplasm | Gel-like substance that holds organelles; site of many chemical reactions. |
|
Cell surface membrane | Regulates movement of substances in and out of the cell. |
|
Mitochondria | Site of aerobic respiration; produces energy (ATP). |
|
Cell wall | Provides structural support and protection; found only in plants. |
|
Chloroplast | Site of photosynthesis; converts light energy into chemical energy (only in plants). |
|
Vacuole | Stores water, ions, and waste; maintains turgor pressure (larger in plant cells). |
---
✔ Step 3: Shade in Green – Structures Only Found in Plant Cells
These are:
-
Cell wall
-
Chloroplast
-
Large central vacuole (though vacuoles exist in animal cells too, they are much smaller and not permanent like in plant cells)
So, shade the following rows in green:
-
Cell wall
-
Chloroplast
-
Vacuole
> 💡 Note: While some animal cells have small vacuoles, the
large central vacuole is a defining feature of plant cells.

Function Table:
| Cell Structure | Function |
|-----------------------|--------|
| Nucleus | Controls cell activities; contains DNA |
| Cytoplasm | Holds organelles; site of reactions |
| Cell surface membrane | Controls movement in/out of cell |
| Mitochondria | Produces energy (ATP) via respiration |
| Cell wall | Provides support and protection (plant only) |
| Chloroplast | Performs photosynthesis (plant only) |
| Vacuole | Stores materials; maintains turgor (plant only) |
👉
Shade in green: Cell wall, Chloroplast, Vacuole
