The main role of the central vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall. Proteins found in the tonoplast (aquaporins) control the flow of water into and out of the vacuole through active transport, pumping potassium (K+) ions into and out of the vacuolar interior. Due to osmosis, water will diffuse into the vacuole, placing pressure on the cell wall. If water loss leads to a significant decline in turgor pressure, the cell will plasmolyse.

What organelle helps remove excess water?
It is Contractile Vacoule. Contractile Vacoule, a structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell.
What store pigments and toxins in plant cells?
Plant cells have a central water vacuole. This has two main functions: one is to store water,ions, pigments and toxins. The other helps in supporting the cell wall.
What a vacoule?
A Vacuole is a membrane bound sac that is filled with fluid. They store water, food, waste, and other substances the cell processes. Bpth plant and animal cells have them
What does a vacoule do in a animal cell?
Stores the food and other nutriensthe cell needs in order to survive. Also used to store waste products before it is sent out in order to protectthe rest of the cell from contamination. A vacoule is normally bigger in plant cells than in animal cell.
In the cell city what is the food processing plant?
it is not the vacoule because the vacoule is where food is storged
What is the vacoule function?
First, can I ask why this is in 'Cat Behaviour?' The purpose of a vacoule is to remove and store waste and water from the cell.
What type of cell has a large valcoule to store food?
The plant cell has a vacoule to store water, food, and waste
If a cell has waste it needs store it will store where?
vacoule
What organelle helps remove excess water?
It is Contractile Vacoule. Contractile Vacoule, a structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell.
A saclike structure in which cells store material?
vacoule
If a cell has waste it needs to store it will store it?
Pedro is very cool
What store pigments and toxins in plant cells?
Plant cells have a central water vacuole. This has two main functions: one is to store water,ions, pigments and toxins. The other helps in supporting the cell wall.
A paramecium eliminates excess water by means of?
Contractile vacoule
What a vacoule?
A Vacuole is a membrane bound sac that is filled with fluid. They store water, food, waste, and other substances the cell processes. Bpth plant and animal cells have them
How does a vacuole assist in homeostasis?
A vacoule is the excretory organelle of the cell. It regulates the turgidity of the cell by regulating the amount of water inside the cell. The vacoule always has some amount of water present inside it. If the cell contains more water, it absorbs the water and allows it to diffuse out of the cell. If the cell contains less water, the water from the vacoule will re-enter the cell to maintain its turgidity.
Do the animal cells have a vacoule?
Yes animal do have vacoule cells
What does is a vacoule job?
A vacuole stores food, water, and waste until it can be used or released.
