Step-by-step solution for: Animal and plant cell diagrams worksheets library
To solve the problem, we need to identify the organelles in both the animal cell and the plant cell diagrams, list them, assign each one a color, and then use that color key to color the cells. Below is a step-by-step explanation of the solution:
---
#### Animal Cell
The animal cell typically contains the following organelles:
1. Nucleus: Contains the cell's DNA.
2. Nuclear Membrane: Surrounds the nucleus.
3. Ribosomes: Small structures where proteins are synthesized.
4. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
- Rough ER: Covered with ribosomes.
- Smooth ER: Without ribosomes.
5. Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
6. Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes.
7. Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell; produces energy (ATP).
8. Vacuole: Stores substances like water, nutrients, or waste.
9. Cytoplasm: The gel-like substance inside the cell membrane.
10. Cell Membrane: The outer boundary of the cell.
#### Plant Cell
The plant cell contains all the organelles of an animal cell plus additional ones:
1. Cell Wall: A rigid layer outside the cell membrane, providing structural support.
2. Chloroplasts: Organelles containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
3. Large Central Vacuole: A large storage vacuole that helps maintain turgor pressure.

5. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
6. Golgi Apparatus
7. Lysosomes
8. Mitochondria
9. Vacuole
10. Cytoplasm
11. Cell Membrane
#### Plant Cell
1. Nucleus
2. Nuclear Membrane
3. Ribosomes

Choose distinct colors for each organelle. Here’s an example color assignment:
#### Color Key
1. Nucleus: Red
2. Nuclear Membrane: Light Pink
3. Ribosomes: Yellow
4. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER): Orange
5. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER): Light Blue
6. Golgi Apparatus: Purple
7. Lysosomes: Dark Green
8. Mitochondria: Brown
9. Vacuole: Light Green
10. Cytoplasm: Gray
11. Cell Membrane: Black
12. Cell Wall: Beige (for plant cell only)
13. Chloroplasts: Teal (for plant cell only)
---
Using the color key, color the corresponding parts of the animal cell and plant cell diagrams. Ensure that each organelle is colored accurately according to the key.
