Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific diagram you’ve uploaded. However, based on your description — "Different Parts of Plant Cell and Animal Cell" with labeled diagrams — I can help you solve this common biology labeling task.
Below is a detailed explanation of the structures found in plant and animal cells, along with guidance on how to label them correctly. You can use this information to fill in the blanks on your worksheet.

A plant cell has all the organelles found in an animal cell plus some unique structures.
#### ✔ Label the following parts:
1. Cell Wall – The rigid outer layer that provides structure and protection. *Only in plant cells.*
2. Chloroplast – Green organelle where photosynthesis occurs. *Only in plant cells.*
3. Large Central Vacuole – A large sac that stores water, ions, and waste; helps maintain turgor pressure. *Typically much larger in plant cells.*
4. Nucleus – Contains DNA and controls cell activities.
5. Nuclear Membrane – Double membrane surrounding the nucleus.
6. Nucleolus – Inside the nucleus; involved in ribosome production.
7. Mitochondrion – Produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
8. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – Network of membranes; rough ER has ribosomes, smooth ER does not.
9. Ribosomes – Sites of protein synthesis.
10. Golgi Apparatus – Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
11. Cytoplasm – Gel-like substance inside the cell where organelles are suspended.
12. Cell Membrane – Thin layer controlling what enters and exits the cell (inside the cell wall).
13. Lysosome – Breaks down waste materials (smaller in plant cells).
14. Cytoskeleton – Network of fibers providing shape and movement.
> 💡 Note: Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole — these are key differences from animal cells.

Animal cells are similar but lack certain plant-specific structures.
#### ✔ Label the following parts:
1. Nucleus – Controls cell activities.
2. Nuclear Membrane
3. Nucleolus
4. Mitochondrion
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough & Smooth)
6. Ribosomes
7. Golgi Apparatus
8. Lysosomes – More prominent than in plant cells.
9. Cytoplasm
10. Cell Membrane – Outer boundary of the cell.
11. Centrioles – Involved in cell division (typically found in animal cells, not plant cells).
12. Cytoskeleton
> ✘ Absent in animal cells: Cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole.

- For each line pointing to a part, write the correct name of the organelle.
- Match the labels based on the shape and location:
- The green oval-shaped structures = Chloroplasts (plant only)
- The large empty space = Vacuole (large in plant, small in animal)
- The round structure with a dot inside = Nucleus (with nucleolus)
- The bean-shaped structures = Mitochondria
- The network of tubes = ER
- The stacked flattened sacs = Golgi Apparatus

| Feature | Plant Cell | Animal Cell |
|------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Cell Wall | Yes | No |
| Chloroplasts | Yes | No |
| Large Central Vacuole | Yes | Small or none |
| Centrioles | Usually no | Yes |
| Shape | Rectangular | Round/irregular |

If you describe which numbers or lines point to which structures (e.g., “the green oval,” “the big circle in the center”), I can help you label them specifically.
