Explanation:
Let’s look at the diagram of the animal cell and identify each numbered part. We’ll go one by one.
1. This is the outer boundary of the cell. It controls what enters and leaves the cell. That’s the
cell membrane.
2. This is the large, round structure in the center. It contains the cell’s DNA and controls the cell’s activities. That’s the
nucleus.
3. These are the yellow, stacked structures. They are involved in making proteins. That’s the
rough endoplasmic reticulum.
4. This is the green, bean-shaped structure with folds inside. It produces energy for the cell. That’s the
mitochondrion.
5. This is the large, flat, sac-like structure. It stores materials and helps in packaging. That’s the
Golgi apparatus.
6. This is the small, round structure. It helps in cell division. That’s the
centriole.
7. These are the small, round, purple structures. They are involved in making proteins. That’s the
ribosomes.
8. This is the network of tubes and membranes. It helps transport materials. That’s the
smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
9. This is the clear, jelly-like substance that fills the cell. It holds the organelles in place. That’s the
cytoplasm.
10. This is the small, round, green structure. It is involved in protein synthesis. That’s the
lysosome.
Final Answer:
1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
4. Mitochondrion
5. Golgi apparatus
6. Centriole
7. Ribosomes
8. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
9. Cytoplasm
10. Lysosome
