Cell organelles color by number Interactive Worksheet - Edform - Free Printable

Let's solve each question on the Plant & Animal Cell Coloring Page and determine the correct answer along with its associated color. This will help you correctly color the corresponding sections on the coloring page.

Question 1:

Substances enter any plant or animal cell by passing through which of the following structures?

- nucleus (BLACK)
- cell membrane (PURPLE) ✔
- mitochondria (YELLOW)

✔ Answer: Cell membrane – it controls what enters and exits the cell.
👉 Color: PURPLE

---

Question 2:

Many animals have internal or external skeletons that provide support and structure. Which of the following parts of plant cells play a similar role?

- cell walls (LIGHT GREEN) ✔
- chloroplast (LIGHT BLUE)
- chlorophyll (RED)

✔ Answer: Cell walls – they give plant cells rigidity and structural support.
👉 Color: LIGHT GREEN

---

Question 3:

Which part of a plant cell is responsible for controlling the activities of the other parts of the cell?

- vacuole (RED)
- ribosome (BLACK)
- nucleus (BROWN) ✔

✔ Answer: Nucleus – contains DNA and directs cellular activities.
👉 Color: BROWN

---

Question 4:

This organelle acts as a digestive site where enzymes are stored that break down large molecules and waste.

- mitochondria (BROWN)
- lysosome (ORANGE) ✔
- centriole (PINK)

✔ Answer: Lysosome – contains digestive enzymes.
👉 Color: ORANGE

---

Question 5:

Compared to a skin cell, a muscle cell is likely to have more...

- chlorophyll (RED)
- mitochondria (RED) ✔
- vesicles (LIGHT GREEN)

✔ Answer: Mitochondria – muscle cells need more energy (ATP), so they have more mitochondria.
👉 Color: RED

---

Question 6:

After proteins are made, they must be sorted and packaged in preparation for use by the cell. Where does this take place?

- endoplasmic reticulum (PINK)
- cell wall (RED)
- Golgi bodies (PINK) ✔

✔ Answer: Golgi bodies – modify, sort, and package proteins.
👉 Color: PINK

---

Question 7:

When an animal eats, food stays in the stomach for a period of time. When a unicellular organism, such as paramecium, takes in food, the food is contained in which organelle?

- vacuole (LIGHT BLUE) ✔
- chloroplast (YELLOW)
- vesicle (ORANGE)

✔ Answer: Vacuole – specifically food vacuoles in protists like paramecium.
👉 Color: LIGHT BLUE

---

Question 8:

The jellylike material that makes up much of a cell inside the cell membrane, and, in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus.

- cytoplasm (YELLOW) ✔
- vacuoles (BROWN)
- mitochondria (ORANGE)

✔ Answer: Cytoplasm – the gel-like substance where organelles are suspended.
👉 Color: YELLOW

---

Question 9:

This organelle is found in plant cells and is the site of photosynthesis.

- chloroplast (DARK GREEN) ✔
- Golgi bodies (ORANGE)
- cytoplasm (BLACK)

✔ Answer: Chloroplast – contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis.
👉 Color: DARK GREEN

---

Question 10:

There are two types of this organelle, rough and smooth. It plays a part in the making of protein and lipids (fats).

- nucleus (PURPLE)
- endoplasmic reticulum (DARK BLUE) ✔
- ribosomes (DARK BLUE)

✔ Answer: Endoplasmic reticulum – rough ER has ribosomes (makes proteins), smooth ER makes lipids.
👉 Color: DARK BLUE

---

✔ Final Answer Key (for coloring):

| Question | Correct Answer | Color |
|--------|-------------------------|------------------|
| 1 | Cell membrane | PURPLE |
| 2 | Cell walls | LIGHT GREEN |
| 3 | Nucleus | BROWN |
| 4 | Lysosome | ORANGE |
| 5 | Mitochondria | RED |
| 6 | Golgi bodies | PINK |
| 7 | Vacuole | LIGHT BLUE |
| 8 | Cytoplasm | YELLOW |
| 9 | Chloroplast | DARK GREEN |
| 10 | Endoplasmic reticulum | DARK BLUE |

🎨 How to Use:

On the coloring page, find the numbered regions (1–10) and color them according to the above answers.

For example:
- Color region 1 with PURPLE (cell membrane)
- Color region 2 with LIGHT GREEN (cell wall)
- And so on...
