Back to all questions 6
Question The diagram given alongside represents a cell. Study the same and answer the following questions :

- Is it a plant cell or an animal cell ? Give reason in support of your answer.
- Label the guidelines 1 to 8.
- Name one structure shown in the figure which is found in both plant and animal cells, but with different sizes.
- What is the protective membranous covering of the part shown as 4 called ?
- Name any two organelles.
The given diagram shows an Animal cell. It does not have a cell wall and plastids. Also, the vacuoles are small, unlike the big ones present in a plant cell.
The guidelines 1 to 8 indicate:
1 → Cell Membrane
2 → Centrosome
3 → Cytoplasm
4 → Nucleus
5 → Nucleolus
6 → Chromosomes
7 → Mitochondria
8 → VacuoleVacuoles are present in both plant and animal cells. They are larger in size in plant cells, but smaller in size in animal cells.
Part 4 is Nucleus. Its protective membranous covering is called Nuclear membrane.
Two organelles are — mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.
