Let’s solve this step by step.
This is a diagram of an animal cell, and each number points to a different part (organelle or structure) inside the cell. Your job is to match each number with the correct name of the cell part it’s pointing to.
We’ll go one by one:
1 → This is the outer boundary of the cell — that’s the
cell membrane. It controls what goes in and out.
2 → These are tiny dots floating in the cytoplasm — they’re
ribosomes, which make proteins.
3 → This is the jelly-like substance filling the cell — that’s the
cytoplasm. Everything floats in here.
4 → This looks like a stack of flattened sacs — that’s the
Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body). It packages and ships proteins.
5 → This is the big round structure in the center — that’s the
nucleus. It holds DNA and controls the cell.
6 → This is the dark spot inside the nucleus — that’s the
nucleolus. It makes ribosomes.
7 → This is the network of tubes and sheets around the nucleus — that’s the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There are two types: rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (without). Since this has no dots, it’s likely
smooth ER.
8 → These are oval-shaped with inner folds — those are
mitochondria. They make energy for the cell.
9 → This is pointing to the same as #1 — again, the
cell membrane. Sometimes diagrams label it twice for clarity.
10 → These are small bubbles near the Golgi — those are
vesicles. They carry materials around the cell.
11 → This is another set of stacked sacs — also part of the
Golgi apparatus. Sometimes it’s drawn in multiple places.
12 → This is a bubble containing something broken down — that’s a
lysosome. It digests waste and old parts.
Now let’s list them clearly:
1. Cell membrane
2. Ribosome
3. Cytoplasm
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Nucleus
6. Nucleolus
7. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
8. Mitochondrion
9. Cell membrane (again)
10. Vesicle
11. Golgi apparatus (again)
12. Lysosome
Final Answer:
1. Cell membrane
2. Ribosome
3. Cytoplasm
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Nucleus
6. Nucleolus
7. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
8. Mitochondrion
9. Cell membrane
10. Vesicle
11. Golgi apparatus
12. Lysosome
