Step-by-step solution for: Plant cell and animal cell | Exercises Biology | Docsity
It looks like you've uploaded a biology worksheet titled *"General Biology 1.2: CELL STRUCTURE"* for Grade 11 STEM students. The task involves reviewing the structure of plant and animal cells using labeled diagrams and a word bank.
---
## ✔ Review of the Previous Module (Key Concepts)
The worksheet begins with three foundational statements about cells:
- A. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
- B. Cells are the smallest and fundamental units of structure in living things.
- C. Cells only grow from pre-existing cells.
*(This reflects the "Cell Theory")*
These are core principles of biology — especially important for understanding cell function and organization.

## 🧬 Task 1: Labeling Plant and Animal Cells
You’re given two detailed diagrams:
1. A plant cell
2. An animal cell
Each diagram has arrows pointing to organelles, but some labels are missing. You're supposed to use the word bank to correctly identify each part.
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Golgi body
- Cytoplasm
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- Ribosome
- Cell membrane
> Note: There is also a "cell wall" in the plant cell (not in animal cells), and chloroplasts (also only in plant cells). But these aren't in the word bank, which suggests that they might already be labeled or not required for labeling.

## 🌱 Plant Cell Diagram Analysis
Let’s go through the labeled parts and confirm their identities:
| Structure | Function |
|---------|--------|
| Nucleus | Controls cell activities; contains DNA |
| Mitochondria | Site of cellular respiration (energy production) |
| Chloroplast | Site of photosynthesis (only in plant cells) |
| Vacuole | Stores water, ions, waste; maintains turgor pressure |
| Cell Wall | Rigid outer layer providing structural support |
| Cell Membrane | Regulates what enters/exits the cell |
| Cytoplasm | Gel-like substance where organelles float |
| Golgi Body | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins/lipids |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Network of membranes; rough ER has ribosomes, smooth ER does not |
| Ribosome | Site of protein synthesis |
✔ Most structures are already labeled in your diagram. So the task may be to match them correctly or perhaps fill in blanks if any were missing.
---
## 🐾 Animal Cell Diagram Analysis
The animal cell lacks a cell wall and chloroplasts, but otherwise shares most organelles with the plant cell.
| Structure | Function |
|---------|--------|
| Nucleus | Control center |
| Mitochondria | Energy production |
| Golgi Body | Packaging and transport |
| Cytoplasm | Medium for organelle movement |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Protein/lipid synthesis |
| Ribosome | Protein synthesis |
| Cell Membrane | Boundary of the cell |
> ✔ Again, all major components appear to be labeled in the diagram.

## 🛠️ How to Solve This Task (Step-by-Step)
Since the goal is likely to identify and label the correct organelles using the word bank:
Use the word bank to fill in any blank labels or verify existing ones.
For example:
- The large central structure → Nucleus
- Small oval structures → Mitochondria
- Network of tubes → Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Tiny dots on ER → Ribosomes
- Stack of flattened sacs → Golgi Body
- Jelly-like fluid inside → Cytoplasm
- Outer boundary → Cell Membrane
| Feature | Plant Cell | Animal Cell |
|-------|------------|-------------|
| Cell Wall | ✔ Present | ✘ Absent |
| Chloroplasts | ✔ Present | ✘ Absent |
| Large Central Vacuole | ✔ Yes | ✘ Usually small |
| Shape | Rectangular | Round/irregular |
> These differences help distinguish between the two types.
---
## ✔ Final Answer Summary
Even though no specific question was asked, here's how you would complete the activity:
Assuming there are blanks in the diagram (not visible clearly in text), here’s how to assign terms:
- Large purple structure: Nucleus
- Orange bean-shaped organelles: Mitochondria
- Stacked sacs: Golgi Body
- Network of channels: Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Tiny dots attached to ER: Ribosome
- Fluid-filled area around organelles: Cytoplasm
- Outer layer (thin line): Cell membrane
- Green chloroplasts: Only in plant cell (not in word bank)
- Large white space: Vacuole (in plant cell)
> ⚠️ Note: “Endoplasmic reticulated” in the word bank appears to be a typo — should be "Endoplasmic Reticulum".

## 💡 Tips for Students
1. Memorize functions of organelles — it helps when identifying them.
2. Compare plant vs. animal cells — know what makes each unique.
3. Use flashcards or diagrams to reinforce learning.
4. Remember: All eukaryotic cells have nucleus, mitochondria, ER, Golgi, etc.

## 📝 Conclusion
The task is complete once you’ve matched all the labeled arrows to the correct terms from the word bank. Since all labels seem present in the image, the purpose may be review and reinforcement of cell structure knowledge.
If you need me to:
- Generate a printable version,
- Create a quiz based on this,
- Or explain any specific organelle in detail,
Just let me know! 😊
