What is Stores waters ions and wastes found in both animal and plant but is very large in plant cells?

The structure that stores water, ions, and wastes in both plant and animal cells is called a vacuole. Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells compared to animal cells, playing a key role in maintaining turgor pressure and storing nutrients in plants. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and mainly involved in storing waste products.


How can large plants stand up without skeletons?

Plant cells are surrounded by a stiff cell wall made of cellulose, which makes the cells very rigid. It is this strong structure that gives plants their sturdiness.


Why does the balsam plant have a soft stem?

The balsam plant has a soft stem because it contains large amounts of water-filled cells that provide structural support. These cells give the stem its flexibility, making it soft and easily bendable.


What can a plant cell do that no animal cell can?

Plant cells can use photosynthesis, in which it uses its chloroplasts (animal cells do not have chloroplasts) to change the energy from the sun into energy it can use. This is why plants do not have to eat: they get everything they need from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Plant cells also have cell walls, chlorophyll, and a very large water vacuole that makes the cell very sturdy by containing water. ---- In other words, a plant can make its own food.


What is found only in plant cells and stores water?

The vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes for metabolism. The vacuole can store large amounts of water. The vacuole is important in a plant.

What is turgidity in osmosis?

"Turgidity" means stiffness. When plant cells absorb water, they press against their cell walls,. becoming very stiff, much like a balloon that is inflated to almost popping (if the cell wall weren't there, the cells WOULD pop). This stiffness takes the place of a plant's skeleton.


What is a very large central vesicle in plant cells?

idk i think it is a vacuole. it is only in the plant cell and is what holds water.


Suppose the test tube contained plant cells instead of red blood cells what will happened if the cells were placed in water with very little salt?

If the plant cells were placed in water with very little salt, they would undergo a process known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to water loss. This occurs because the water concentration outside the cells is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting and potential cell damage.


What cell has vacuoles?

Plant cells have vacuoles, which are membrane-bound organelles responsible for storage of water, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles in plant cells help maintain the cell's turgor pressure and play a role in maintaining cell structure and regulating cell growth.


Why cant you grow a plant with coke?

because plants need water to grow. ALTHOUGH coke has water but the osmotic pressure of coke water is very high hence its water is not available to the plant cells by osmosis.


What can plant cells do that animals cells can't do?

Produce its own food


Which organelle is found in both animal and plant cells but is very large in plant cells?

vacuole


How are vacuoles in animal cells different from those in plant cells?

animal cells have either very small vacuoles, or no vacuoles at all, whereas plant cells have very large vacuoles.


How are the vacuoles in animal cells different from those plant cells?

animal cells have either very small vacuoles, or no vacuoles at all, whereas plant cells have very large vacuoles.


What would happen to a salt water plant if you put in fresh water and why?

The plant is most likely to die because the salt water already killed the root cells. It also depends on the concentraition of the plant. some plants are very sensitive when fresh water is placed in ONLY salt water plants
