Animal and Plant Cells Worksheet - Identify and label cell structures and match functions.

Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

1. Identify and Label the Cells

We are given two diagrams:

#### Left Diagram:
- It has a round shape.
- It has a cell membrane (outer boundary), but no cell wall.
- It contains mitochondria, nucleus, cytoplasm, and other organelles.
- It does not have chloroplasts or a large central vacuole.

✔ This is an animal cell.

#### Right Diagram:
- It has a rectangular/box-like shape.
- It has a cell wall (rigid outer layer).
- It has chloroplasts (green structures) — used for photosynthesis.
- It has a large central vacuole.
- Also has nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, etc.

✔ This is a plant cell.

Now, label the parts using the words provided:
- Nucleus – the large round structure with a darker center.
- Mitochondria – small oval structures (often with folds inside).
- Cell wall – the thick outer layer (only in plant cell).
- Cell membrane – the inner boundary just inside the cell wall (in plant) or the outer layer (in animal).
- Cytoplasm – the jelly-like substance filling the cell.
- Chloroplast – green oval structures (only in plant cell).

Completed Part 1:

> This is an animal cell.
> *(Label the left diagram with: nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane, cytoplasm)*

> This is a plant cell.
> *(Label the right diagram with: nucleus, mitochondria, cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplast)*

2. Match the Cell Parts to Their Functions

We are given these terms:
- NUCLEUS
- MITOCHONDRIA
- CHLOROPLAST
- CELL MEMBRANE
- CELL WALL
- CYTOPLASM

Now match each function:

#### • This is responsible for controlling what goes in and out of the cell.
→ CELL MEMBRANE
✔️ The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

#### • It’s where most of the reactions take place. It’s also responsible for giving the cell its shape.
→ CYTOPLASM
✔️ The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance where metabolic reactions occur. In animal cells, it helps maintain shape; in plant cells, the cell wall provides most of the structural support.

#### • This part holds all of the DNA.
→ NUCLEUS
✔️ The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.

✔ Final Answers:

#### Part 1:
- Left diagram: This is an animal cell.
- Right diagram: This is a plant cell.

*(Label both diagrams accordingly with the listed organelles.)*

#### Part 2: Matching
- CELL MEMBRANE – controls what goes in and out of the cell.
- CYTOPLASM – site of most reactions and gives the cell shape.
- NUCLEUS – holds all of the DNA.
