Interactive worksheet comparing plant and animal cells with drag-and-drop labeling exercises.

Let's solve this step by step based on the two diagrams provided.

---

1. First Diagram (Top Cell)

This cell has:
- A nucleus (large, central structure with a dark spot inside)
- Cytoplasm (the gel-like substance filling the cell)
- Cell membrane (outer boundary of the cell)
- Vacuole (a large, clear space, but not as dominant as in plant cells)

But it does NOT have:
- A cell wall (rigid outer layer)
- Chloroplasts (green structures for photosynthesis)

✔ So, this is an animal cell.

#### Labeling:

- Nucleus: The large, round, purple structure in the center.
- Cytoplasm: The blue-colored area surrounding the nucleus and organelles.
- Cell membrane: The thin outer boundary of the cell.
- Vacuole: One or more small vacuoles (clear spaces), possibly the one near the top left.

> Note: In animal cells, vacuoles are usually smaller and less prominent than in plant cells.

✔ Answer for Part 1:

- Type of cell: Animal cell

#### Labels:
- Top arrow pointing to the vacuole
- Middle arrow pointing to the nucleus
- Right arrow pointing to the cytoplasm
- Bottom arrow pointing to the cell membrane

(Exact placement depends on arrows, but generally:
- The largest round structure → Nucleus
- The fluid around it → Cytoplasm
- Outer edge → Cell membrane
- Small clear bubble → Vacuole)

2. Second Diagram (Bottom Cell)

This cell has:
- Cell wall (thick, green, rigid outer layer)
- Chloroplasts (green, oval structures — visible in the cytoplasm)
- Large central vacuole (big, clear space in the center)
- Nucleus (smaller, located toward the side)
- Cytoplasm (gel-like substance)
- Cell membrane (just inside the cell wall)

✔ This is a plant cell.

#### Labeling:

- Cell wall: The thick green outer layer
- Chloroplast: Green oval structures (usually several)
- Vacuole: Large central clear space
- Nucleus: Smaller, purple, often pushed to the side
- Cytoplasm: The area between organelles and cell membrane
- Cell membrane: Just inside the cell wall (thin line)

> Note: The cell membrane is hard to see, but it’s just inside the cell wall.

✔ Answer for Part 2:

- Type of cell: Plant cell

#### Labels:
- Top arrow → Nucleus
- Right arrow → Cell membrane (just inside cell wall)
- Left arrow → Chloroplast
- Bottom arrow → Vacuole
- Side arrow → Cytoplasm
- Outer green border → Cell wall

✔ Final Answers:

#### 1. First Cell (Top):
- Labels:
- Nucleus → Central purple structure
- Cytoplasm → Blue background
- Vacuole → Small clear bubble(s)
- Cell membrane → Outer boundary
- Type of cell: Animal cell

#### 2. Second Cell (Bottom):
- Labels:
- Cell wall → Thick green outer layer
- Chloroplast → Green oval structures
- Vacuole → Large central clear space
- Nucleus → Purple structure (not central)
- Cytoplasm → Area around organelles
- Cell membrane → Thin line just inside cell wall
- Type of cell: Plant cell

| Chloroplasts | ✘ | ✔ |
| Large Central Vacuole | ✘ | ✔ |
| Nucleus | ✔ (central) | ✔ (pushed aside) |
| Cell Membrane | ✔ | ✔ |
| Cytoplasm | ✔ | ✔ |
