To solve this labeling task, we need to match each description with the correct part of the plant cell from the word bank.
Let’s go one by one:
1. “Provides cell activity instructions” → This is the Nucleus, because it holds DNA and controls what the cell does.
2. “Site in the synthesis and production of ribosomes, functioning as the ‘brain’ of the nucleus” → That’s the Nucleolus — it makes ribosomes inside the nucleus.
3. “Cell’s outer covering, protects and shapes the cell” → That’s the Cell Wall — unique to plants, gives structure and protection.
4. “Location of protein synthesis” → Ribosomes make proteins, so this is Ribosomes.
5. “Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell and is located within the cell wall” → That’s the Cell Membrane — it’s just inside the cell wall and controls what enters/exits.
6. “Plays a crucial role in protein production and quality control. Additionally, it contains numerous ribosomes” → That’s the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) — has ribosomes on its surface for making proteins.
7. “Plant typically have one of these that stores water, waste, and nutrients” → The big central storage sac? That’s the Central Vacuole.
8. “Responsible for lipid production and synthesis and does not contain ribosomes unlike rough ER” → Smooth ER — no ribosomes, makes lipids. So, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
9. “Thick liquid that fills cell space to maintain its structure” → That’s the Cytoplasm — jelly-like stuff filling the cell.
10. “Stores starch for plants” → Amyloplasts store starch. So, Amyloplast.
11. “Responsible for breaking down sugar into energy for the cell to use and is often referred to as the cell’s ‘powerhouse’” → Mitochondria! They make energy (ATP). So, Mitochondria.
12. “Responsible for producing sugar for the cell through the process of photosynthesis” → Chloroplasts do photosynthesis. So, Chloroplast.
13. “Series of flattened sacs that sort and package proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum” → Golgi apparatus — packages and ships proteins. So, Golgi apparatus.
14. “Stores excess calcium or calcium oxalate, which can make the plant poisonous to humans in high amounts” → Druse crystals are sharp calcium deposits. So, Druse Crystal.
Now let’s list them all clearly:
- Provides cell activity instructions → Nucleus
- Site in the synthesis and production of ribosomes... → Nucleolus
- Cell’s outer covering... → Cell Wall
- Location of protein synthesis → Ribosomes
- Regulates the movement of substances... → Cell Membrane
- Plays a crucial role in protein production... → Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Plant typically have one of these... → Central Vacuole
- Responsible for lipid production... → Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Thick liquid that fills cell space... → Cytoplasm
- Stores starch for plants → Amyloplast
- Responsible for breaking down sugar... → Mitochondria
- Responsible for producing sugar... → Chloroplast
- Series of flattened sacs... → Golgi apparatus
- Stores excess calcium... → Druse Crystal
All 14 parts matched correctly using the word bank.
Final Answer:
Nucleus, Nucleolus, Cell Wall, Ribosomes, Cell Membrane, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Central Vacuole, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, Cytoplasm, Amyloplast, Mitochondria, Chloroplast, Golgi apparatus, Druse Crystal
