Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Label the Parts of the Plant and Animal Cell
Looking at the image, we have two cell diagrams — one animal cell and one plant cell — each with numbered parts to label. The student is expected to match numbers 1–14 to the correct organelles or structures in each cell.

Since this is a labeling task based on standard biology diagrams, I’ll go through each number for both cells using common textbook knowledge of cell anatomy.

---

Animal Cell (Top Diagram):

Let’s identify each numbered part:

1. Cell membrane – outer boundary of the cell
2. Cytoplasm – jelly-like substance filling the cell
3. Mitochondrion – power house, often bean-shaped with inner folds
4. Golgi apparatus – stack of flattened sacs, modifies and packages proteins
5. Lysosome – small vesicle with enzymes, breaks down waste
6. Centrioles – paired cylindrical structures near nucleus, involved in cell division
7. Nucleus – large central control center with nucleolus inside
8. Nuclear envelope/membrane – double membrane around nucleus
9. Nucleolus – dense spot inside nucleus, makes ribosomes
10. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) – studded with ribosomes, makes proteins
11. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) – no ribosomes, makes lipids
12. Ribosome – tiny dots making proteins (can be free or on RER)
13. Vacuole – small storage sac (animal cells have small ones)
14. Cytoskeleton – network of fibers supporting cell shape (sometimes shown as lines)

Wait — let me double-check typical labeling for such diagrams.

Actually, looking more carefully at standard animal cell diagrams:

- #1 is usually cell membrane
- #2 is cytoplasm
- #3 is mitochondrion
- #4 is Golgi apparatus
- #5 is lysosome
- #6 is centriole
- #7 is nucleus
- #8 is nuclear membrane
- #9 is nucleolus
- #10 is rough ER
- #11 is smooth ER
- #12 is ribosome
- #13 is vacuole
- #14 is cytoskeleton or sometimes microtubules

But wait — in many diagrams, #14 might be labeled as “centrosome” or “microtubule organizing center”. However, since it's pointing to the area near centrioles, and centrioles are already #6, perhaps #14 is cytoskeleton.

Alternatively, some diagrams label #14 as “microfilament” or “intermediate filament”.

To be safe, let’s use the most commonly accepted labels for school-level biology.

Plant Cell (Bottom Diagram):

Now for the plant cell:

1. Cell wall – rigid outer layer
2. Cell membrane – just inside cell wall
3. Chloroplast – green oval, does photosynthesis
4. Vacuole – large central vacuole (stores water, keeps cell turgid)
5. Cytoplasm – fills space between organelles
6. Nucleus – control center
7. Nuclear membrane – surrounds nucleus
8. Nucleolus – inside nucleus
9. Ribosome – tiny dots (often on ER)
10. Rough ER – with ribosomes
11. Smooth ER – without ribosomes
12. Golgi apparatus – stacks of sacs
13. Mitochondrion – energy producer
14. Plasma membrane – same as cell membrane? Wait, no — in plant cells, #2 is already cell membrane, so #14 might be something else.

Wait — looking again:

In the plant cell diagram:

- #1: Cell wall
- #2: Cell membrane
- #3: Chloroplast
- #4: Large central vacuole
- #5: Cytoplasm
- #6: Nucleus
- #7: Nuclear envelope
- #8: Nucleolus
- #9: Ribosome
- #10: Rough ER
- #11: Smooth ER
- #12: Golgi apparatus
- #13: Mitochondrion
- #14: ???

What’s left? In plant cells, sometimes they show plasmodesmata or starch grains, but those aren’t typically numbered 14.

Actually, in many diagrams, #14 in plant cell is mitochondrion — but #13 is already mitochondrion? Let me check positions.

Looking at the plant cell:

- #13 is pointing to an oval with inner folds → that’s mitochondrion
- #14 is pointing to a small red dot near bottom right → could be ribosome or peroxisome? But ribosomes are usually smaller and more numerous.

Wait — perhaps #14 is lysosome? But plant cells don’t always have lysosomes; they use vacuoles instead.

Another possibility: #14 is plastid other than chloroplast? Like leucoplast or chromoplast? But not typically labeled.

Actually, in many standard plant cell diagrams, the last number (#14) is often cytoskeleton or microtubule.

But let’s think differently — maybe the numbering is consistent across both diagrams for similar organelles.

For example:

In animal cell:
- #3 = mitochondrion
- #4 = Golgi
- #5 = lysosome
- #6 = centriole
- #7 = nucleus
- #8 = nuclear membrane
- #9 = nucleolus
- #10 = rough ER
- #11 = smooth ER
- #12 = ribosome
- #13 = vacuole
- #14 = cytoskeleton

In plant cell:
- #1 = cell wall
- #2 = cell membrane
- #3 = chloroplast
- #4 = vacuole
- #5 = cytoplasm
- #6 = nucleus
- #7 = nuclear membrane
- #8 = nucleolus
- #9 = ribosome
- #10 = rough ER
- #11 = smooth ER
- #12 = Golgi
- #13 = mitochondrion
- #14 = ?

What’s missing? Perhaps #14 is peroxisome or glyoxysome, but those are advanced.

Alternatively, in some diagrams, #14 in plant cell is starch grain or oil droplet.

But for school level, it’s likely that #14 is cytoskeleton or microfilament.

However, after checking multiple standard diagrams, I recall that in many plant cell labeling worksheets, #14 is often mitochondrion — but here #13 is already mitochondrion.

Wait — let’s look at position:

In plant cell, #13 is pointing to an organelle with cristae → definitely mitochondrion.

#14 is pointing to a small red circle near the bottom right — could be a lysosome or peroxisome.

But plants don’t have lysosomes like animals do.

Perhaps it’s a vacuole fragment? Unlikely.

Another idea: #14 might be plasma membrane — but #2 is already cell membrane.

I think there might be a mistake in my assumption.

Let me try to list the plant cell parts based on common labeling:

Standard plant cell labels:

1. Cell wall
2. Cell membrane
3. Chloroplast
4. Central vacuole
5. Cytoplasm
6. Nucleus
7. Nuclear membrane
8. Nucleolus
9. Ribosome
10. Rough ER
11. Smooth ER
12. Golgi apparatus
13. Mitochondrion
14. Cytoskeleton or Microtubule

Yes, that makes sense. #14 is likely cytoskeleton.

Similarly, in animal cell, #14 is also cytoskeleton.

So, finalizing:
