Let’s go step by step to label the animal cell correctly.
We are given these vocabulary words:
- Nucleus
- Cell Membrane
- Mitochondria
- Vacuole
- Golgi Apparatus
- Cytoplasm
Now, let’s look at each part of the cell diagram and match it with the correct word.
1. The outermost layer that surrounds the whole cell → This is the
Cell Membrane. It holds everything inside and controls what goes in and out.
2. The big pink circle in the middle → That’s the
Nucleus. It’s like the brain of the cell — it tells the cell what to do.
3. The jelly-like stuff filling the space around the nucleus → That’s the
Cytoplasm. Everything floats in this.
4. The small oval shapes with wavy lines inside (there are a few of them) → Those are
Mitochondria. They make energy for the cell.
5. The stacked curved lines near the nucleus → That’s the
Golgi Apparatus. It packages and ships things made in the cell.
6. The empty-looking sacs or bubbles (usually clear or light-colored) → Those are
Vacuoles. In animal cells, they’re smaller than in plant cells, but still there — they store water, food, or waste.
Now, let’s assign each label box based on where the arrows point:
Top arrow pointing to the outer edge →
Cell Membrane
Right arrow pointing to the big pink center →
Nucleus
Bottom right arrow pointing to one of the brown ovals with lines →
Mitochondria
Bottom left arrow pointing to a clear bubble →
Vacuole
Left middle arrow pointing to the stacked curves →
Golgi Apparatus
Left top arrow pointing to the yellowish background area →
Cytoplasm
✔ All parts matched!
Final Answer:
Top box: Cell Membrane
Right box: Nucleus
Bottom right box: Mitochondria
Bottom left box: Vacuole
Left middle box: Golgi Apparatus
Left top box: Cytoplasm
