Labeling cells

1.       Label the features that are unique to plant cells

1. Cell Wall: Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose that provides structure and protection.

2. Chloroplasts: These organelles contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy.

3. Large Central Vacuole: This large, membrane-bound space stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure to keep the plant cell rigid.

4. Plasmodesmata: Channels that connect plant cells to one another, allowing communication and transport of materials between cells.

5. Plastids: Apart from chloroplasts, other plastids like leucoplasts and chromoplasts are found in plant cells. They store starch and pigments.

1.       Label the features that are unique to animal cells

Centrioles 🌀

• Appearance: Small, cylindrical, and often in pairs

• Usually near the nucleus

• Function: Helps in cell division (mitosis and meiosis)

• Not found in plant cells

2. Lysosomes 🟡

• Appearance: Small, round vesicles (often shown as yellow or light-colored)

• Function: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and damaged cell parts

• Mostly found in animal cells (rare in plant cells)

3. Small Vacuoles (Vesicles) 🫙

• Appearance: Small, bubble-like sacs

• Function: Temporary storage for nutrients, waste, or water

• Plant cells have a large central vacuole, while animal cells have smaller, multiple vacuoles

4. Irregular Shape 🧩

• Animal cells have a more rounded or irregular shape

• Plant cells are more rectangular due to their rigid cell wall

1.       Label the features that are unique to bacteria (prokaryotic) cells

• Nucleoid (DNA region) – Instead of a nucleus, bacteria have a single circular DNA strand floating in the cytoplasm.

• Cell Wall (made of Peptidoglycan) – Provides structure and protection (unique to bacteria, though some other organisms have different types of cell walls).

• Flagellum – A long, whip-like tail that enables movement.

• Pili (Fimbriae) – Small hair-like projections that help bacteria attach to surfaces or exchange genetic material (via conjugation).

• Plasmids – Small, circular DNA molecules separate from chromosomal DNA, often carrying antibiotic resistance genes.
