Step-by-step solution for: Cell organelles color by number Interactive Worksheet - Edform
Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific image you uploaded. However, based on your description — "Plant & Animal Cell Coloring Page" with questions about cell structures and coloring instructions — I can help you solve the problem and explain the solution for each question.
Let’s go through each question one by one, answer it correctly, and explain why. Then, we’ll match the answers to the color codes provided in the key.
---
> Substances enter any plant or animal cell by passing through which of the following structures?
Answer: cell membrane
- Explanation: The cell membrane (also called plasma membrane) is a semi-permeable barrier that controls what enters and exits the cell. It allows certain substances to pass through via diffusion, osmosis, or active transport.
✔ Color: PURPLE
---
> Many animals have internal or external skeletons that provide support and structure. Which of the following parts of a plant cell plays a similar role?
Answer: cell wall
- Explanation: In plants, the cell wall provides structural support and protection. It's rigid and made of cellulose, giving the plant its shape and helping it resist external pressure. This is analogous to an animal’s skeleton.
✔ Color: LIGHT GREEN
---
> Which part of a plant cell is responsible for controlling the activities of the other parts of the cell?
Answer: nucleus
- Explanation: The nucleus contains DNA and directs all cellular activities, including protein synthesis, growth, and reproduction. It's the control center of the cell.
✔ Color: RED
---
> This organelle acts as a digestive site where enzymes are stored that break down large molecules and waste.
Answer: lysosome
- Explanation: Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that digest macromolecules, worn-out organelles, and foreign particles. They are essential for cellular cleanup and recycling.
✔ Color: ORANGE
---
> Compared to a skin cell, a muscle cell is likely to have more ________.
Answer: mitochondria
- Explanation: Muscle cells require a lot of energy (ATP) for contraction. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing ATP through cellular respiration. So, muscle cells have more mitochondria than skin cells.
✔ Color: RED
---
> After proteins are made, they must be sorted and packaged in preparation for use by the cell. Where does this take place?
Answer: Golgi bodies (Golgi apparatus)
- Explanation: The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their destinations, either inside the cell or outside.
✔ Color: PINK
---
> When an animal eats food stays in the stomach for a period of time. When a unicellular organism, such as a paramecium, takes in food, the food is contained in which organelle?
Answer: vacuole
- Explanation: In unicellular organisms like *Paramecium*, food vacuoles form when food is engulfed by phagocytosis. These vacuoles digest the food and later expel waste.
✔ Color: LIGHT BLUE
---
> The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membranes, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus.
Answer: cytoplasm
- Explanation: The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell membrane that holds organelles and facilitates cellular processes. It includes the cytosol and organelles.
✔ Color: YELLOW
---
> This organelle is found in plant cells and is the site of photosynthesis.
Answer: chloroplast
- Explanation: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis. Only found in plant cells and some protists.
✔ Color: DARK GREEN
---
> There are two types of this organelle, rough and smooth. It plays a part in the making of protein and lipids (fats).
Answer: endoplasmic reticulum
- Explanation: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has two forms:
- Rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis.
- Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and helps in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
✔ Color: PURPLE
