Let’s go step by step to label the plant cell diagram and answer the questions.
First, we need to identify which parts are unique to plant cells — that will help us answer question 1 and 2.
Plant cells have:
- Cell Wall (outermost layer, rigid)
- Chloroplasts (green organelles for photosynthesis)
- Large central Vacuole (takes up most of the space in mature plant cells)
Animal cells do NOT have these. They may have small vacuoles, but not one big central one. No chloroplasts. No cell wall.
Looking at the diagram:
The outermost thick green layer →
Cell Wall
Just inside that, a thin line →
Cell Membrane
Big empty-looking sac in the middle →
Vacuole
Green oval structures with stacks inside →
Chloroplasts
Orange bean-shaped things with inner folds →
Mitochondria
Purple round structure in center →
Nucleus
Folded membranes around nucleus →
ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)
Stacked flattened sacs near ER →
Golgi Body
Tiny dots on ER or floating →
Ribosomes
Jelly-like stuff filling the cell →
Cytoplasm
Now let’s match labels to arrows (going clockwise from top left):
Top row (left to right):
→ Points to Golgi Body →

→ Points to Vacuole →

Wait — some labels might be repeated because multiple arrows point to same organelle type. That’s okay. We just assign based on what each arrow points to.
But since this is a worksheet, likely each blank corresponds to one unique label from the word bank. Let’s count blanks: there are 14 blanks total.
Word Bank has 13 terms. Hmm — maybe “Cytoplasm” or “Ribosome” is used twice? Or perhaps I miscounted.
Actually, looking again — the diagram probably expects you to fill each blank with the correct term based on where the arrow points. Since it’s a plant cell, we can confidently say:
Answer to Question 1: This is a
plant cell.
Answer to Question 2: We know it’s a plant cell because it has a
cell wall,
chloroplasts, and a
large central vacuole — features animal cells don’t have.
Now, for labeling — even though the user didn’t ask to list all 14 labels, the main task is answering the two questions at the bottom.
So final answers:
Final Answer:
1. Plant cell
2. It has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole — which animal cells do not have.
