The vacuole maintains fluids, removes wastes, stores ingested food, and provides and maintains cellular structure.
Animal cells are typically bathed in extracellular fluids that contain all of the water, ions and nutrients that they need. Animal cells are also not in a state of turgor, mostly due to a lack of a cell wall. Enzymatic reactions in plants cells are optimized to be efficient when the plant cell has a high water potential. Animal cells enjoy a neutral water potential. Animals also have specialized cells for nutrient storage and immune responses. In animal cells, lysosomes are used to digest/recycle materials, but that is where the similarity ends between these two organelles.

A plant cell's vacuole functions to provide support for the cell and to?
Store food and nutrients
How do structures with a cell allow the cell to be specialized?
The structures allow the cell to perform specific functions.
What cell contains certain structures that perform functions for the cell?
that would be the organelles
Is it true that cells perform organic functions?
The word organic means from life so yes cell perform organic functions
What are the functions of the vacuole in plant cell?
It is a jelly-like container, holding extra supplies that the cell will use in the future(food, oxygen etc.)
Does a food vacuole control all functions in a cell?
No, if you had to answer what controls all functions in cell, it would be the nucleus.
What are functions of a plant cell?
cell wall,cell membrane,cytoplasm,croplast,nucleus,vacuole
What are the functions of food vacuole?
The Vacuole serves as the stomach per say for that particular cell. It only has one.
What are functions of a plant?
cell wall,cell membrane,cytoplasm,croplast,nucleus,vacuole
A plant cell's vacuole functions to provide support for the cell and to?
Store food and nutrients
What is a secretory vacuole?
A secretory vacuole is an organelle that is found in fungal and plant cells. Secretory vacuoles perform many different functions.
Is the vacuole a plant cell or an animal cell?
Vacuoles appear in both animal and plant cells, but they perform different functions. In animal cells, vacuoles are rather small compared to those of plant cells and are more used a receptacles for waste products of the cell. In plant cells, vacuoles serve a much larger purpose. The biggest organelle in the plant cell, the central vacuole, is used to hold water and maintain the structure of the plant cell. In addition, the central vacuole can be used to enlarge and lengthen the cell by taking in water from its surroundings.
Cell structures that perform specific functions for the cell?
Organelles
How do structures with a cell allow the cell to be specialized?
The structures allow the cell to perform specific functions.
What does the vacoule do for a cell?
In plant cells there is 1 large vacuole that acts as the main water source for the plant. In animal cells, there are multiple small vacuoles scattered throughout the plant that act as water sources also.
Are structures that perform specific functions in a cell?
organelles
What functions do lysosme perform in a animal cell?
blue
