Can a fridge represent a vacuol in a cell analogy?
Yes. The fridge stores many things with its many shelves and drawers, just like a vacuole.
Do humans have vacuol?
Ask someone that knows a lot about humans and vacuoles.
What are the two roles of the central vacuol in plant cells?
Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, though in certain cases they may contain solids which have been engulfed. Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these. In general, the functions of the vacuole in plant cells include: >Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell >Containing waste products >Containing water in plant cells >Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell >Maintaining an acidic internal pH >Containing small molecules >Exporting unwanted substances from the cell >Allows plants to support structures such as leaves and flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole >In seeds, stored proteins needed for germination are kept in 'protein bodies', which are modified vacuoles If you wish for only two major roles, include: >Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell >Contain waste products, specific molecules, and water
