Vacuoles are the storage areas of cells.In young cells many vacuole are found,but in mature cells,they colease and form a single large vacuole which is presentin the centre of the cell pushing the cytoplasm and nuclus to the periphery.Vacuoles contain a pigment called anthocyanin which imparts blue,pink & purple colour to it.They are called the Repository of the Cell's mitochondria and nuts.

What stores food water and waste in plant and animal cells?

In plant cells, a central vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste. In animal cells, waste products are stored temporarily in structures called lysosomes before being expelled from the cell. Water is stored in animal cells as well, mainly in the cytoplasm and within organelles like the mitochondria.


What do eurkaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not?

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus containing their DNA, membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, and are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and their DNA is typically found in a region called the nucleoid.


What is an energy-converting organelle found in plant and algae cells?

Chloroplasts are energy-converting organelles found in green plant cells. Within the chloroplasts are stacks of disks called thykaloids in which photosynthesis takes place, creating carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.


Do bacteria have organelles within their cells?

Yes, bacteria do not have organelles within their cells. They are prokaryotic cells, which means they lack membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells.


Name two storage organelles?

Mitochondria: responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Vacuoles: act as storage organelles for various substances such as water, nutrients, and waste products in plant and fungal cells.

Where are food and water stored in both plant and animal cells?

In plant cells, food and water are stored in the central vacuole. Animal cells do not have a central vacuole, so food and water are stored in organelles like mitochondria and the cytoplasm.

What are animals that use organelles called?

Animal cells use organelles (so do plant cells). Cells with organelles are called "eukaryotic" which means these are cells that have a nucleus (which is one of the organelles).
