It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Different Parts of Plant and Animal Cell", which asks students to label the diagrams of a plant cell and an animal cell. Below is a detailed explanation and solution for labeling both cells correctly.
---
We'll go through each diagram and label the parts correctly based on their structure and function.

## 🌿 Top Diagram: Plant Cell
This cell has features unique to plant cells, such as:
- Cell wall
- Chloroplasts
- Large central vacuole
Let’s identify and label each part:
1. Cell wall – The rigid outer layer that provides structural support (only in plant cells).
2. Chloroplast – Site of photosynthesis (green organelles; only in plant cells).
3. Nucleus – Contains DNA and controls cell activities.
4. Nuclear membrane – Surrounds the nucleus.
5. Nucleolus – Inside the nucleus; involved in ribosome production.
6. Mitochondria – "Powerhouse" of the cell; produces energy (ATP).
7. Cytoplasm – Gel-like substance where organelles are suspended.
8. Ribosomes – Tiny structures that make proteins.
9. Smooth ER – Network of membranes without ribosomes; involved in lipid synthesis.
10. Rough ER – Has ribosomes attached; involved in protein synthesis.
11. Golgi body (Golgi apparatus) – Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
12. Vacuole – Large central vacuole in plant cells; stores water, ions, and waste; helps maintain turgor pressure.
✔ All these parts should be labeled on the top diagram.

## 🐾 Bottom Diagram: Animal Cell
This cell lacks a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. It has other unique features like:
- Lysosomes
- Centrioles
Let’s label the parts:
1. Cell membrane – Flexible outer boundary that regulates what enters/exits the cell.
2. Cytoplasm – Gel-like substance inside the cell.
3. Nucleus – Controls cell activity.
4. Nuclear membrane – Surrounds the nucleus.
5. Nucleolus – Inside the nucleus.
6. Mitochondria – Energy production.
7. Ribosomes – Protein synthesis.
8. Smooth ER – Lipid synthesis.
9. Rough ER – Protein synthesis.
10. Golgi body – Packages materials.
11. Lysosome – Contains digestive enzymes; breaks down waste (common in animal cells).
12. Centrioles – Involved in cell division (help form spindle fibers); found only in animal cells.
> Note: The large vacuole seen in the plant cell is replaced by smaller vesicles in the animal cell.

| Feature | Plant Cell | Animal Cell |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Cell Wall | Yes (cellulose) | No |
| Chloroplasts | Yes | No |
| Large Central Vacuole | Yes | No (has small vesicles) |
| Lysosomes | Rare or absent | Present |
| Centrioles | Absent | Present |
| Shape | Fixed (rectangular) | Irregular (round) |

You should label each part in the diagrams using the correct names from the provided list. Make sure:
- In the plant cell: Include cell wall, chloroplast, and large vacuole.
- In the animal cell: Include lysosome, centrioles, and cell membrane (not cell wall).
The labels are already written beside the diagram — just match them correctly to the structures.

If you're filling this out, simply draw lines from the terms to the correct organelles in each diagram.
