Step-by-step solution for: Label the Plant Cell: Level 2 | Worksheet
Let’s go step by step to label the plant cell correctly.
We are given a word bank with these parts:
- nucleus
- nucleolus
- mitochondria
- endoplasmic reticulum
- ribosomes
- Golgi body
- cell membrane
- large central vacuole
- cell wall
- chloroplast
- cytoskeleton
- cytoplasm
Now, let’s look at the diagram and match each part based on what we know about plant cells:
1. Cell Wall – This is the outermost thick layer surrounding the whole cell. It gives the plant cell its rigid shape. → Label the very outer boundary.
2. Cell Membrane – Just inside the cell wall, this is a thinner line that controls what goes in and out. → Label the line just inside the cell wall.
3. Cytoplasm – The jelly-like substance filling the cell where organelles float. → Label the empty space between organelles (not the big white area).
4. Large Central Vacuole – The huge white space taking up most of the center. Stores water and helps keep the cell firm. → Label the big empty-looking area in the middle.
5. Nucleus – The round structure near the center, often with a smaller circle inside. Controls the cell. → Label the big round thing with a dot inside.
6. Nucleolus – The small dark circle *inside* the nucleus. Makes ribosomes. → Label the tiny circle inside the nucleus.
7. Mitochondria – Oval-shaped with wavy lines inside. They make energy. → Label the oval structures with squiggles (there are several).
8. Chloroplasts – Green ovals with stacks inside (though not colored here). Do photosynthesis. → Label the oval shapes with little circles or stacks inside (usually green in real life).
9. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – Looks like folded tubes or sheets near the nucleus. Rough ER has dots (ribosomes), smooth doesn’t. → Label the maze-like structure around the nucleus.
10. Ribosomes – Tiny dots floating in cytoplasm or stuck on ER. Make proteins. → Label the small dots scattered around.
11. Golgi Body – Stack of flattened sacs, looks like pancakes. Packages stuff for shipping. → Label the stack of curved lines away from the nucleus.
12. Cytoskeleton – Thin lines crisscrossing the cell. Gives support and helps move things. → Label the thin straight or slightly curved lines going across the cytoplasm.
✔ Now, double-check: All 12 terms should be used once, matching their correct location.
Final Answer:
Label the parts as follows (from outside to inside, roughly):
- Outer thick border → cell wall
- Thin line just inside → cell membrane
- Jelly-like background → cytoplasm
- Big central empty space → large central vacuole
- Round structure with inner dot → nucleus (outer) and nucleolus (inner dot)
- Oval with wavy lines → mitochondria
- Oval with internal stacks → chloroplast
- Folded network near nucleus → endoplasmic reticulum
- Small dots → ribosomes
- Stack of curved sacs → Golgi body
- Thin crossing lines → cytoskeleton
(Each label goes on the green line pointing to the correct part.)
