Vacuoles are large membrane-bound compartments within some eukaryotic cells where they serve a variety of different functions: capturing food materials or unwanted structural debris surrounding the cell, sequestering materials that might be toxic to the cell, maintaining fluid balance (called turgor) within the cell, exporting unwanted substances from the cell, or even determining relative cell size. The cavity that is the vacuole is considered nonprotoplasmic and the contents classified as ergastic according to some authors (Esau, 1965). Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most plant cells.
Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. Vacuoles perform different roles in different organisms and these functions include the capture of food, the maintenance of internal hydrostatic pressure (store water), the containment of waste products, the maintenance of an acidic internal pH, the storage of small molecules and finally can enable a cell to elongate rapidly.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle holds water and nutrients?
the vacuole.
What is the function of the vacuole in an animal cell?
The vacuole in an animal cell functions to store nutrients, waste products, and maintain the cell's shape and structure.
What part of the cell whose job is to store water?
The Vacuole. Vacuoles are much larger in plants than in animals.
What organelles work as storage tanks for the cell?
Vacuoles are organelles that serve as storage tanks for the cell. They store water, nutrients, waste products, and other cellular materials. Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that helps maintain turgor pressure and store nutrients.
Which number of identifies the organelle that functions to store water and dissolved salts?
Vacuole stores water and dissolved salts within plant cells.
Example of a vacuole?
plants have a vacuole which they use to store water in.
What is the main function of vacuole in plant?
the vacuole is to store water for the plant to drink
Where does the cell store fat?
In its Vacuole
Which organelles store food?
The vacuole.
What ids the function of vacuole?
The vacuole's function is to store food and water in the plant cell.
What is the job of the cell vacuole?
the job of the cell vacuole is to store water, food and air
What’s the function of the vacuole?
The vacuole's function is to store food and water in the plant cell.
Is the vacuole cell like a washroom?
Of course yes! Washroom store the waste and vacuole does too!
Where plants store food?
in their root...
DO VACUOLE STORE genetic information s?
No
Which organelles store materials?
the organelle that stores material within the cell is the vacuole. the vacuole stores things such as food, waste, etc. it is also known as the 'storage area'.
What represents a vacuole in a city?
A vacuole could be a storage center in a city because they both store things.
