Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Cell Organelles Labeling worksheet
Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying each labeled part of the animal cell in the diagram and matching it with the correct organelle name from the provided list.

Step 1: Understand the Cell Structure



This is a typical animal cell (as it has a nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, etc., but no cell wall or chloroplasts). We'll identify each structure based on its appearance and function.

Step 2: Identify Each Labeled Part



We’ll go through each arrow and label:

#### 1. Top-left arrow pointing to small dots outside the nucleus
- These are ribosomes.
- They are small structures that make proteins.
- Answer: *ribosomes*

#### 2. Arrow pointing to the outer boundary of the cell
- This is the cell membrane.
- It regulates what enters and exits the cell.
- Answer: *cell membrane*

#### 3. Arrow pointing to the large central structure with a dark dot inside
- This is the nucleus, and the dark dot inside is the nucleolus.
- The nucleus contains DNA and controls cell activities.
- The nucleolus makes ribosomes.
- Since there’s one arrow pointing to the whole nucleus, and another to the inner dot:
- Outer structure: *nucleus*
- Inner dot: *nucleolus*

#### 4. Arrow pointing to the folded network around the nucleus (with little dots on it)
- This is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
- It has ribosomes attached (hence "rough").
- Answer: *rough ER*

#### 5. Arrow pointing to the folded network without dots
- This is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER).
- No ribosomes on it; involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
- Answer: *smooth ER*

#### 6. Arrow pointing to the stacked flattened sacs
- This is the Golgi body (or Golgi apparatus).
- Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
- Answer: *Golgi Body*

#### 7. Arrow pointing to the small spherical structure with a dark interior
- This is a lysosome.
- Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste.
- Answer: *lysosome*

#### 8. Arrow pointing to the large blue bubble-like structure
- This is a vacuole.
- In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and used for storage and transport.
- Answer: *vacuole*

#### 9. Arrow pointing to the bean-shaped structures with internal folds
- These are mitochondria.
- Site of cellular respiration (energy production).
- Answer: *mitochondrion* (plural: mitochondria)

#### 10. Arrow pointing to the small star-like structure near the nucleus
- This is the centrioles.
- Involved in cell division (forming spindle fibers).
- Answer: *centrioles*

#### 11. Arrow pointing to the gel-like substance filling the cell
- This is the cytoplasm.
- Contains all organelles and is where many reactions occur.
- Answer: *cytoplasm*

Step 3: Final Matching



Now let’s assign each blank box correctly:

From top to bottom (left side):

1. Top-left arrowribosomes
2. Second from top-leftcell membrane
3. Third from top-leftnucleus
4. Fourth from top-leftrough ER
5. Fifth from top-leftvacuole
6. Sixth from top-leftcentrioles
7. Seventh from top-leftmitochondrion

On the right side:

1. Top-right arrownucleolus
2. Second from top-rightrough ER (already used? Wait — no, check again)

Wait — we need to be careful. Let's re-check the arrows and their positions.

Actually, looking at the image carefully:

- The top-right arrow points to the nucleolus (inside the nucleus).
- The second arrow from top-right points to the nuclear envelope? But that’s not in the list.

Wait — the list includes:
lysosome, rough ER, ribosomes, centrioles, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, smooth ER, cell membrane, Golgi Body, nucleus, vacuole

So all labels are covered.

Let’s map them by position:

Final Labeling (based on typical diagrams):



Assuming the arrows are numbered as follows (from left to right, top to bottom):

1. Top-left: small dots → ribosomes
2. Below that: outer edge → cell membrane
3. Next down: large central purple area → nucleus
4. Next: structure with dots on surface → rough ER
5. Next: large blue bubble → vacuole
6. Next: small star-like → centrioles
7. Next: red bean-shaped → mitochondrion
8. Bottom-left: small pink circle → lysosome
9. Top-right: inner dot in nucleus → nucleolus
10. Middle-right: folded network without dots → smooth ER
11. Below that: stacked sacs → Golgi Body
12. Bottom-right: general area → cytoplasm

Wait — there are 12 boxes but only 12 labels.

Let’s count the arrows:

There are 12 arrows in total.

Let’s number them:

1. Top-left: small dots → ribosomes
2. Below that: outer membrane → cell membrane
3. Below that: large purple structure → nucleus
4. Below that: large blue bubble → vacuole
5. Below that: star-like → centrioles
6. Below that: red bean-shaped → mitochondrion
7. Bottom-left: small pink dot → lysosome
8. Top-right: inner dot → nucleolus
9. Below that: folded network with dots → rough ER
10. Below that: folded network without dots → smooth ER
11. Below that: stacked sacs → Golgi Body
12. Bottom-right: general area → cytoplasm

Yes — that matches.

Final Answer:



| Arrow Position | Label |
|----------------|-------|
| Top-left (dots) | ribosomes |
| Below (outer edge) | cell membrane |
| Below (large purple) | nucleus |
| Below (blue bubble) | vacuole |
| Below (star-like) | centrioles |
| Below (red bean) | mitochondrion |
| Bottom-left (small pink) | lysosome |
| Top-right (inner dot) | nucleolus |
| Middle-right (folded with dots) | rough ER |
| Below that (folded no dots) | smooth ER |
| Below that (stacked sacs) | Golgi Body |
| Bottom-right (general area) | cytoplasm |
