Let's solve this step by step. The image is a labeled diagram of an
animal cell, with several parts already named and others indicated by colored squares that need to be filled in.
We are told:
> "Fill in the coloured squares with the name of the signalled part."
The parts already labeled are:
-
Nucleus (pink)
-
Golgi body (yellow)
-
Plasma membrane (blue)
Now, let’s identify the unlabeled parts based on their appearance and location in the animal cell:
---
1. Yellow square at the top right
This points to a small round structure with a dark dot inside — this is a
lysosome.
✔ Answer: Lysosome
---
2. Green square on the right side
This points to a network of green folded membranes — this is the
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Since it's rough (has ribosomes on it), it's the
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).
✔ Answer: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
---
3. Pink square below the green one
This points to a pink, winding structure near the nucleus — this is the
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER). It lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
✔ Answer: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
---
4. Brown square on the left side
This points to tiny dots attached to the ER — these are
Ribosomes. They are involved in protein synthesis.
✔ Answer: Ribosomes
---
5. Light yellow square at the bottom left
This points to a small, spherical structure with a dark center — this is a
Mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria). It's the powerhouse of the cell.
✔ Answer: Mitochondrion
---
6. Beige/cream square at the bottom center
This points to the fluid inside the cell, surrounding the organelles — this is the
Cytoplasm.
✔ Answer: Cytoplasm
---
Summary of Answers:
| Colored Square | Part Name |
|----------------|-----------|
| Yellow (top right) |
Lysosome |
| Green (right) |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Pink (below green) |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| Brown (left) |
Ribosomes |
| Light yellow (bottom left) |
Mitochondrion |
| Beige (bottom center) |
Cytoplasm |
---
Final Answer:
Fill the colored squares as follows:
-
Yellow (top right) → Lysosome
-
Green (right) → Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
-
Pink (below green) → Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
-
Brown (left) → Ribosomes
-
Light yellow (bottom left) → Mitochondrion
-
Beige (bottom center) → Cytoplasm
✔ This completes the labeling of all parts of the animal cell!
