Its just to help retain the structure of the cell, but in some cells it is also to take in toxic's and keep the hydrostatic pressure.

But if this is homework it will just be wanting to maintain the structure of the cell (especially if it's referring to plant cells).

How many vacuoles are found in a cell?

The number of vacuoles in a cell can vary depending on the cell type and its function. Typically, plant cells have one or more large central vacuoles, while animal cells may have smaller and fewer vacuoles scattered throughout the cell.


The cells of which tissue have a large central fat-filled vacuole?

Adipose tissue cells, also known as adipocytes, possess a large central fat-filled vacuole that stores energy in the form of triglycerides. This unique feature allows them to function as the primary site for energy storage in the body.


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.


What is the function or job or your cell parts of large vacuoles and small vacuoles?

Large vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products in plant cells, helping to maintain turgor pressure and regulate cell function. Small vacuoles in animal cells store and transport molecules such as neurotransmitters or enzymes, helping with cellular digestion and waste management.


What types of eukaryotic cells have vacuoles that act like lynsosomes?

Vacuoles are found in plant and fungal cells because sometimes the vacuoles act like lysosomes. A vacuole is a vesicle. They contain enzymes that help a cell digest particles. The large central vacuole in plant cells stores water and other liquids. Large vacuoles full of water help support the cell. Some plants wilt when their vacuoles lose water.
