∙ 11y agoVacuoles - Storage Bins to the Cells Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. Eventually, those waste products would be sent out of the cell.
The structure of vacuoles is fairly simple. There is a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid. In that fluid are nutrients or waste products. Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant. They are closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell.
In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. Don't forge that vacuoles can also hold the plant waste products. Those waste products are slowly broken into small pieces that cannot hurt the cell. Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might need, just like a backpack.
Helping with Support Vacuoles also play an important role in plant structure. Plants usecell walls to provide support and surround cells. The size of that cell may still increase or decrease depending on how much water is present. Plant cells do not shrink because of changes in the amount of cytoplasm. Most of a plant cell's volume depends on the material in vacuoles.
Those vacuoles gain and lose water depending on how much water is available to the plant. A drooping plant has lost much of its water and the vacuoles are shrinking. It still maintains its basic structure because of the cell walls. When the plant finds a new source of water, the vacuoles are refilled and the plant regains its structure

Because animal cells are more easily hydrated, the size is significantly smaller versus a vacuole found in a botanical species. They are primarily used as a storage system for digestable nutrients that the cell does not yet need to utilize.

What is the vacule found in the animal or plant cell?
Vacuoles are found in plant cells and are responsible for holding water and salts.
Where is the vacule of a cell?
The vaculoe is large part of a plant cell that can be found where the plant cell has no color.
Name two substances found in the vacule of a plant cell?
Chemicals, protein, ions and water
What is the definition of the vacuole?
The definition for the vacule is that it is the stomach of the cell.
Where in a plant cell does glucose form?
in the cytoplasm when CO2 and H2O combine together, then it can be stored in the vacule as starch ;)
Is a polisade cell a animal or plant cell?
it is a plant cell its a cell waa nuclus a vacule cytoplasm and a chloroplast
What does a plant cell have that a amnimal cell not have?
The three features that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not have are cell wall, chloroplasts and vacule
What are the function in a animal cell?
An animals cell is ment to produce photosythisis. It has choloroplasts and a vacule to store food.An animal cell is ment to produce and store.
What is found in a plant and animal cell?
A nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cell membrane, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, vacule
Is a vacule only in a plant cell?
only a central vacoule is in a plant cell. regular vacuoles can be in either plant or animal cells.
What is the vacule found in the animal or plant cell?
Vacuoles are found in plant cells and are responsible for holding water and salts.
What is the vacule in a animal?
Do you mean vacuole? if so, then in an animal cell, they are organelles that store water and nutrients. In an animal cell there is usually a few small vacuoles. In a plant cell, there is one large one called the large central vacuole.
What does a human cell do with its waste?
through the cell vacule
Animal cell examples?
An animal cell is made of cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and vacuole. and an example of animal cell is skin cell, nerve cell, muscle cell, blood cell or etc...

vacule
What are the storage centers that are larger in plant cells than in animal cells?
its the vacule
What are two things all plant cells have that animal cells don't have?
