The tonoplast, or vacuole membrane, is a phospholipid bilayer that creates the vacuolar lumen (interior). Associated with this membrane are a variety of transport proteins responsible for the passage of water and solutes into and out of the vacuole. Acylated sterylglycosides and ceramide monohexoside have also been noted as being key components of the tonoplast composition (1).

Is the plasma membrane the same thing as the tonoplast?
yes because tonoplast like cell membrane mantain ions concentration
What is the outer membarane of the vacuole called?
tonoplast
What prevents mixing of vacuole contents with the cytoplasm?
the tonoplast
Is the tonoplast living?
The tonoplast is a cytoplasmic membrane that encircles the vacuole and separates the vacuolar contents from the cytoplasm in a cell and isolates materials that are harmful. It is also called the vacuolar membrane.
What is the name of the large central vacuole in a plant cell?
tonoplast
What function does a tonoplast have?
The tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane that surrounds the vacuole. Its function is to separate the vacuolar contents from the cytoplasm in a cell.
Is the plasma membrane the same thing as the tonoplast?
yes because tonoplast like cell membrane mantain ions concentration
Is the tonoplast visible?
yes
Thin boundary of the vacuole called?
tonoplast
What is the outer membarane of the vacuole called?
tonoplast
What is the name of the membrane that surrounds the vacuole?
It is called the vacuolar membrane.Sometimes it is referred to as the vacuole membrane. The membrane round the large central vacuole in plants it is also called the tonoplast.
What prevents mixing of vacuole contents with the cytoplasm?
the tonoplast

What type of membrane surrounds vacuoles in plants cells?
tonoplast
Are tonoplast in animal and plant cells?
I Want to Know too :(
What is the name of the large central vacuole in a plant cell?
tonoplast
Is there tonoplast in an animal cell?
Not necessarily. Tonoplast is what you call the membrane surrounding the large vacuole in plant cells, which is not present in the animal cell. However, tonoplast is still made up of phospholipid bilayers, which is also present in animal cells as well as plant cells.
