Plant Cell Diagram
100
This organelle is like the cell's skin and surrounds and protects the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
100
This organelle is the thick, rigid layer that surrounds the plant cell, giving it its shape and protecting it.
What is the cell wall?
100
True or False: Animal cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.
What is false? Animal cells are irregular, round, or oval in shape.

Number 8 on this animal cell diagram.
What is cytoplasm?
100
These are the tiny green dots in a plant cell.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/plant-cell-elodea--isotonic-solution-shows-cells--chloroplasts-250x-at-35mm-139802547-5a956de86bf069003717851a.jpg)
What are chloroplasts?
200
This organelle is the "brain" of the cell and contains the cell's DNA...basically telling the other organelles what to do.
What is the nucleus?
200
This organelle contains chlorophyll and acts as tiny solar panels inside a plant cell.
What are chloroplasts?
200
These organelles are found in both plant and animal cells but are smaller in plant cells than in animal cells.
What are ribosomes?
200
Number 9 on this animal cell diagram.
What is the cell membrane?
200
Number 1 on this plant cell diagram.
What is the cell wall?
300
This is the jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane, which holds all the other organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
300
With a name that sounds like a household cleaning tool, this organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste products in a plant cell.
What is a vacuole?
300
The two organelles that help animal and plant cells stay clean and healthy.
What are lysosomes and vacuoles?
300
Number 1 on this animal cell diagram.
What is the nucleolus?
300
Number 6 on this plant cell diagram.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
400
These are the recycling stations of the cell, and contain enzymes that break down waste materials in the cell.
What are lysosomes?
400
This organelle contains a subsystem that is surrounded by its own membrane called a nuclear envelope.
What is the nucleus?
400
Found only in animal cells, these organelles play a crucial role in cell division by helping organize the movement of chromosomes.
What are centrioles?
400
Number 2 on this animal cell diagram.
What is the mitochondrion?
400
Number 4 on this plant cell diagram.
What is a vacuole?
500
This two-word organelle is like the cell's post office, whereby it sends modified proteins and lipids back to their correct destinations.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
500
The name of the process whereby chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight and convert it into food within a plant.
What is photosynthesis?
500
The structures that plant cells use to organize chromosome movement during cell division.
What are microtubules?
500
Number 10 on this animal cell diagram.
That is the centriole?
500
Number 7 on this plant cell diagram.
What is Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER?
