What do vacuoles in a cell do?
Vacuoles help to store mainly water, but they also store things like salts and carbohydrates. Vacuoles in plant cells are much bigger than vacuoles in animal cells.
Does a lemon have lysosomes and small vacuoles?
Yes. Except like all plants the vacuoles are large.
What are vacuole like?
Vacuoles are kind of like a sewer system in a way.
Does a lysosome look like a vacuole?
Lysosomes and vacuoles are both membrane-bound organelles found in cells, but they have different functions. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down cellular waste and foreign particles, while vacuoles typically store substances like water, nutrients, or pigments. In terms of structure, lysosomes are typically smaller and more irregularly shaped compared to the larger and more defined vacuoles.
Is vacuoles like a brain of a cell?
No, vacuoles are not like the brain of a cell. Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs primarily used for storage and maintaining cellular pressure, while the "brain" of a cell is more accurately represented by the nucleus, which contains genetic material and regulates cellular activities. In plant cells, vacuoles play a critical role in maintaining turgor pressure, but they do not control cell functions like the nucleus does.
How are vacuoles different between cells?
Vacuoles in plant cells tend to be large and permanent structures that store water, waste, and other substances. In contrast, vacuoles in animal cells are smaller and more temporary, mainly used for storage and transport of materials. Moreover, some specialized cells, like phagocytic cells, can contain multiple vacuoles for digesting foreign particles.
How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
Do animal cells have vacuoles like plant cells?
No they don't have.
Act like storage areas within the cells?
vacuoles
What cellular structure acts like a stomach for a cell?
vacuoles
What are the small structures that float in the gel-like cytoplasm?
vacuoles
What types of eukaryotic cells have vacuoles that act like lynsosomes?
Vacuoles are found in plant and fungal cells because sometimes the vacuoles act like lysosomes. A vacuole is a vesicle. They contain enzymes that help a cell digest particles. The large central vacuole in plant cells stores water and other liquids. Large vacuoles full of water help support the cell. Some plants wilt when their vacuoles lose water.
