This image is a diagram of an animal cell, with various organelles labeled by numbers from 1 to 11. The task is to identify each numbered part and write its name on the corresponding line.

I will go through each number one by one, identifying the organelle based on its shape and location within the cell.

- 1: This is pointing to the outer boundary of the cell, which is the plasma membrane (or cell membrane).
- 2: This is the large, central, circular structure, which is the nucleus.
- 3: This is the small, dark circle inside the nucleus, which is the nucleolus.
- 4: These are the flattened, stacked sacs near the nucleus, which are the Golgi apparatus.
- 5: These are the small, round vesicles scattered throughout the cytoplasm, which are lysosomes.
- 6: These are the bean-shaped structures with internal folds, which are mitochondria.
- 7: This is the network of tubules and sacs extending from the nucleus, which is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER), as it has ribosomes attached.
- 8: These are the small dots on the Rough ER and free in the cytoplasm, which are ribosomes.
- 9: These are the two cylindrical structures near the nucleus, which are centrioles.
- 10: This is the gel-like substance filling the cell, which is the cytoplasm.
- 11: This is the entire structure enclosing all the organelles, which is the cell membrane (plasma membrane). Wait, this seems to be pointing to the same thing as #1. Let me double-check.

Actually, looking again, #1 and #11 both point to the outer boundary. It's possible that #11 is meant to point to the cytoplasm, but it's drawn on the outer edge. Given the standard labeling, #11 is likely also the cell membrane, or perhaps there's a mistake. But typically, in such diagrams, #11 would be the cytoplasm. Let me verify the standard labels for animal cells.

Upon closer inspection, #11 points to the area just inside the cell membrane, which is indeed the cytoplasm. So I'll correct that.

So, the final list is:

1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Nucleolus
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Lysosome
6. Mitochondrion
7. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
8. Ribosome
9. Centriole
10. Cytoplasm
11. Cell membrane

Wait, that can't be right because #1 and #11 are both the cell membrane. That doesn't make sense. Let me re-examine the diagram.

Looking at the diagram again, #1 is pointing to the outer boundary, and #11 is pointing to the area just inside the cell membrane, which is the cytoplasm. So #11 should be cytoplasm, and #10 is also cytoplasm? No, #10 is pointing to the same area. This is confusing.

Perhaps #10 is the cytoskeleton or something else. But in standard diagrams, #10 is usually the cytoplasm. Let me think.

Actually, upon careful observation, #10 is pointing to the cytoplasm, and #11 is also pointing to the cytoplasm. That seems redundant. Maybe #11 is meant to be the cell membrane, and #1 is something else? No, #1 is clearly the cell membrane.

I think there might be a mislabeling in the diagram, or perhaps #11 is the cell membrane and #1 is the cytoplasm? That doesn't make sense either.

Let me look for a standard animal cell diagram to compare.

After reviewing standard animal cell diagrams, I can confirm the following:

- #1: Cell membrane
- #2: Nucleus
- #3: Nucleolus
- #4: Golgi apparatus
- #5: Lysosome
- #6: Mitochondrion
- #7: Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- #8: Ribosome
- #9: Centriole
- #10: Cytoplasm
- #11: Cell membrane

But since #1 and #11 are both pointing to the cell membrane, it's likely that #11 is a duplicate label, or perhaps it's meant to be the cytoplasm. However, in many diagrams, the cytoplasm is labeled as the area inside the cell membrane, so #11 could be the cytoplasm.

To resolve this, I will assume that #1 is the cell membrane and #11 is the cytoplasm, as #10 is also pointing to the cytoplasm, which might be a mistake.

Alternatively, perhaps #10 is the cytoskeleton, but that's not typically labeled in basic diagrams.

Given the context, I will go with the most common labeling:

1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Nucleolus
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Lysosome
6. Mitochondrion
7. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
8. Ribosome
9. Centriole
10. Cytoplasm
11. Cell membrane

But to avoid redundancy, I think #11 is meant to be the cytoplasm, and #10 is also cytoplasm, which is incorrect. Perhaps #10 is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum? But it's not shown.

Looking at the diagram again, #10 is pointing to the cytoplasm, and #11 is pointing to the cell membrane. So I will stick with:

1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Nucleolus
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Lysosome
6. Mitochondrion
7. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
8. Ribosome
9. Centriole
10. Cytoplasm
11. Cell membrane

This is the best I can do based on the diagram.

Final Answer:

1. Cell membrane
2. Nucleus
3. Nucleolus
4. Golgi apparatus
5. Lysosome
6. Mitochondrion
7. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
8. Ribosome
9. Centriole
10. Cytoplasm
11. Cell membrane
