Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific diagram you’ve uploaded. However, based on your description — a worksheet titled
"Color and label the cells: Animal Cell and Plant Cell" with labeled parts and a list of organelles — I can help you solve this common biology task.
Let’s go through how to
color and label both an
animal cell and a
plant cell, using standard biological knowledge.

🔬 Step-by-Step Guide:
#### 📌 1.
Identify the Organelles
Here are the organelles listed in your image (based on typical worksheets):
-
Cell membrane – outer boundary
-
Nucleus – control center, contains DNA
-
Nuclear envelope – membrane around nucleus
-
Nucleolus – inside nucleus, makes ribosomes
-
Mitochondria – powerhouse (produces energy)
-
Ribosomes – protein factories (small dots)
-
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) – network of membranes
-
Golgi apparatus – packages proteins
-
Lysosomes – digest waste
-
Vacuole – storage; large in plant cells
-
Chloroplasts – green, photosynthesis (only in plant cells)
-
Cell wall – rigid outer layer (only in plant cells)

✔ How to Label & Color Each Part
#### 🐾
Animal Cell (Top Diagram)
| Structure | Label | Color |
|---------|-------|-------|
| Cell membrane | Outer edge | Light blue or gray |
| Nucleus | Large circle with nucleolus inside | Purple or pink |
| Nucleolus | Small dot inside nucleus | Darker purple or red |
| Mitochondria | Oval shapes with folds | Orange or red |
| Ribosomes | Tiny dots (free or on ER) | Yellow or white |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Network of tubes | Light green or yellow |
| Golgi apparatus | Stack of flattened sacs | Blue or light purple |
| Lysosomes | Small circles | Green or brown |
| Vacuole | Small bubble | Light blue or clear |
> ❗ Note: Animal cells
do not have chloroplasts or cell walls.

#### 🌱
Plant Cell (Bottom Diagram)
All animal cell structures are present
plus these:
| Structure | Label | Color |
|---------|-------|-------|
| Cell wall | Outermost rigid layer | Brown or beige |
| Chloroplasts | Green oval structures | Green |
| Large central vacuole | Big bubble taking up most space | Light blue or clear |
> 🌿 The
large central vacuole is a key feature of plant cells.

🎨 Coloring Tips:
- Use
different colors for each organelle.
- Make sure labels are
clear and match the correct structure.
- Draw lines from labels to the correct part.

🧠 Key Differences Between Animal and Plant Cells:
| Feature | Animal Cell | Plant Cell |
|--------|-------------|------------|
| Cell wall |
✘ No |
✔ Yes (cellulose) |
| Chloroplasts |
✘ No |
✔ Yes (green) |
| Central vacuole | Small or none |
✔ Large central one |
| Shape | Irregular | Rectangular/box-like |
| Lysosomes | Present | Sometimes less prominent |

✔ Final Checklist:
1.
✔ All organelles labeled correctly.
2.
✔ Colors match standard conventions.
3.
✔ Only plant-specific structures (chloroplasts, cell wall, big vacuole) in the plant cell.
4.
✔ No chloroplasts or cell walls in the animal cell.
