Step-by-step solution for: Building A Eukaryotic Cell Worksheet Answers 2020-2024 - Fill and ...
Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific diagram or image you've uploaded. However, based on your description, it appears to be a worksheet titled "Building a Eukaryotic Cell" that asks students to identify structures in a eukaryotic cell and determine whether each structure is found in both plant and animal cells (P & A) or only in plant cells (P) or animal cells (A).
Below is a general explanation of how to solve this type of problem, along with a completed version of the task assuming standard knowledge of eukaryotic cell biology.
---
You are given a list of 12 cell structures and asked to:
1. Label them on a diagram of a eukaryotic cell.
2. For each structure, write:
- P & A if it's found in both plant and animal cells,
- P if it’s only in plant cells,
- A if it’s only in animal cells.
Let’s go through each structure:
---
| Structure | Found In | Explanation |
|---------|--------|-----------|
| 1. nucleoplasm | P & A | The fluid inside the nucleus; present in all eukaryotic cells. |
| 2. intermembrane space | P & A | Space between inner and outer mitochondrial membranes; present in both. |
| 3. nucleus | P & A | Contains DNA; common to all eukaryotes. |
| 4. cell membrane | P & A | Outer boundary of the cell; found in both. |
| 5. cytoplasm | P & A | Gel-like substance where organelles float; universal in eukaryotes. |
| 6. chloroplasts | P | Site of photosynthesis; only in plant cells and some protists. |
| 7. Golgi complex | P & A | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins; found in both. |
| 8. cell wall | P | Rigid outer layer; present in plants, fungi, and bacteria, but not in animals. |
| 9. vacuole | P & A | But large central vacuole is typical in plant cells; smaller ones in animal cells. So: P & A, though more prominent in plants. |
| 10. DNA | P & A | Genetic material; present in all living cells. |
| 11. nucleolus | P & A | Produces ribosomes; located within the nucleus. |
| 12. chloroplasts | P | Again, only in plant cells (and some protists). |
> ⚠️ Note: Chloroplasts appear twice in your list — likely a typo. You probably meant "lysosome" or "centriole" for one of them.
But assuming the list is correct as written, here’s the corrected version:
---
| # | Structure | Found In |
|---|----------------------|----------|
| 1 | nucleoplasm | P & A |
| 2 | intermembrane space | P & A |
| 3 | nucleus | P & A |
| 4 | cell membrane | P & A |
| 5 | cytoplasm | P & A |
| 6 | chloroplasts | P |
| 7 | Golgi complex | P & A |
| 8 | cell wall | P |
| 9 | vacuole | P & A |
|10 | DNA | P & A |
|11 | nucleolus | P & A |
|12 | chloroplasts | P |
> ❗ Wait — chloroplasts listed twice? That seems like an error. If #6 and #12 are both chloroplasts, then both should be P.
Alternatively, perhaps #12 was meant to be centrioles (found in animal cells but not typically in plants) or lysosomes (present in both, but more prominent in animals).
But since the label says "chloroplasts" twice, we'll assume it's a repetition.

On the provided diagram of the eukaryotic cell:
- Locate the nucleus (large round structure with nucleolus inside).
- Find the mitochondria (bean-shaped), Golgi body (stacked sacs), ER (network of membranes), ribosomes, lysosomes, etc.
- Identify the cell wall (outermost layer in plant cells).
- Look for chloroplasts (green oval structures in plant cells).
- Mark the central vacuole (large empty space in plant cells).
---
- Plant cells only: cell wall, chloroplasts
- Animal cells only: centrioles (not listed), lysosomes (sometimes listed separately)
- Both: nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles (smaller in animals), DNA, nucleolus, etc.

If you can describe the diagram or clarify the 12 structures (especially #12), I can give a more precise answer.

🧪 How to Label the Diagram
On the provided diagram of the eukaryotic cell:
- Locate the nucleus (large round structure with nucleolus inside).
- Find the mitochondria (bean-shaped), Golgi body (stacked sacs), ER (network of membranes), ribosomes, lysosomes, etc.
- Identify the cell wall (outermost layer in plant cells).
- Look for chloroplasts (green oval structures in plant cells).
- Mark the central vacuole (large empty space in plant cells).

📝 Summary
- Plant cells only: cell wall, chloroplasts
- Animal cells only: centrioles (not listed), lysosomes (sometimes listed separately)
- Both: nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles (smaller in animals), DNA, nucleolus, etc.
