A vacuole is an organelle found only in a plant cell and a plant cell is rectangular in shape. I hope that helped!
What else can I help you with?
What gives shape and structure?
The Vacuoles
What gives cells shape and structure?
The Vacuoles
Do carrots have vacuoles?
Yes, carrots do have vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells, including those in carrots. Vacuoles play important roles in storing nutrients, maintaining turgor pressure, and regulating cell size and shape.
What is stored in vacuoles within a plant cell?
Vacuoles within a plant cell store water, nutrients, and waste products. They also help maintain the cell's shape and provide structural support.
Are vacuoles present in animal cells and what is their function within the cell?
Yes, vacuoles are present in animal cells. Their main function is to store nutrients, waste products, and maintain the cell's shape and structure.
Do animal cells have a vacuole?
Yes, animal cells do have vacuoles, but they are smaller and less prominent compared to plant cells. Vacuoles in animal cells primarily function to store waste and maintain cell shape.
What 2 structures does the plant cell have that helps it maintain its shape?
Vacuole and Cell wall
How are vacuoles of animal cells different from vacuoles of plant cells?
Vacuoles in animal cells are uncommon and relatively small. If you imagine a cell as being the size of a shoebox, an animal cell vacuole would be about the size of a ping-pong ball. Vacuoles in plant cells are much bigger, if present. They give shape and form to the cells, and determine wilting. They are about the size of a pair of shoes in a shoebox.
Is there a central vacuole in green plants?
In the cells, yes, but the actual plant itself doesn't have any vacuoles. The water filled vacuoles give the plant its shape because it has no bone structure. Plants wilt when the vacuole are empty.
What role do vacuoles play in both plant and animal cells?
Vacuoles are storage organelles found in both plant and animal cells. In plant cells, vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products, help maintain turgor pressure, and aid in plant growth and development. In animal cells, vacuoles primarily store water and waste products, helping to maintain cell shape and stability.
What is the function of a nuclear vacuoles?
Nuclear vacuoles help in maintaining the shape and structure of the nucleus within a cell by providing structural support. They also play a role in regulating the movement of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
Is vacuoles found in both plant and animal cell?
Yes, vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells. In plant cells, vacuoles are large and play a role in storing water, nutrients, and waste products. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and are involved in intracellular digestion and maintaining cell shape.
