Step-by-step solution for: Animal and plant cell
Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying and labeling the parts of both animal and plant cells based on the provided diagrams and lists.
---
The top image is an animal cell, as it lacks a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole — features typical of plant cells.
We are given a list of 9 structures:
1. Nucleus
2. Nucleolus
3. Cytoplasm
4. Cell membrane
5. Lysosome
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Golgi Apparatus
8. Mitochondria
9. Ribosome
Now let’s identify each part using the diagram:
- Pink oval structure with a yellow dot inside: This is the nucleus (1), and the small yellow circle within it is the nucleolus (2).
- Blue outer boundary: This is the cell membrane (4).
- Green stacked structures: These are the endoplasmic reticulum (6). The rough ER has ribosomes attached (small dots), while smooth ER does not.
- Orange stacked structure: This is the Golgi apparatus (7).
- Red rod-shaped structures: These are mitochondria (8).
- Yellow round structures: These are lysosomes (5).
- Small dots on some membranes: These are ribosomes (9).
- Blue gel-like substance filling the cell: This is the cytoplasm (3).
Let’s assign labels to the blank boxes around the animal cell:
From the diagram:
- Top left: Nucleus (1)
- Top right: Nucleolus (2)
- Right side: Endoplasmic Reticulum (6)
- Bottom right: Mitochondria (8)
- Middle right: Lysosome (5)
- Bottom center: Golgi Apparatus (7)
- Left side: Ribosome (9)
- Bottom left: Cytoplasm (3)
- Far left: Cell membrane (4)
> ✔ Animal Cell Labels (from top to bottom, left to right):
> - Top left: Nucleus
> - Top right: Nucleolus
> - Right: Endoplasmic Reticulum
> - Middle right: Lysosome
> - Bottom right: Mitochondria
> - Bottom center: Golgi Apparatus
> - Left: Ribosome
> - Bottom left: Cytoplasm
> - Far left: Cell membrane

This is a plant cell, identifiable by:
- A rigid cell wall (outer green layer)
- Chloroplasts (green structures with stacks)
- A large central vacuole (purple structure)
Given list:
1. Ribosome
2. Cytoplasm
3. Golgi Apparatus
4. Mitochondria
5. Chloroplasts
6. Endoplasmic Reticulum
7. Vacuole
8. Nucleus
Now match the structures:
- Large purple structure in the center: Vacuole (7)
- Green oval structures with stacked layers: Chloroplasts (5)
- Blue oval structures: Mitochondria (4)
- Pink stacked structure: Golgi Apparatus (3)
- Network of tubules: Endoplasmic Reticulum (6)
- Small dots on membranes: Ribosomes (1)
- Blue gel-like area: Cytoplasm (2)
- Pink oval nucleus: Nucleus (8)
- Outer green wall: This is the cell wall — but not listed. However, it's implied.
Let’s label the blanks:
From the diagram:
- Top left: Chloroplast (5)
- Top right: Nucleus (8)
- Right side: Endoplasmic Reticulum (6)
- Middle right: Mitochondria (4)
- Bottom right: Golgi Apparatus (3)
- Bottom center: Vacuole (7)
- Left side: Ribosome (1)
- Bottom left: Cytoplasm (2)
> ✔ Plant Cell Labels (from top to bottom, left to right):
> - Top left: Chloroplasts
> - Top right: Nucleus
> - Right: Endoplasmic Reticulum
> - Middle right: Mitochondria
> - Bottom right: Golgi Apparatus
> - Bottom center: Vacuole
> - Left: Ribosome
> - Bottom left: Cytoplasm
