What part of a cell stores water and nutrients?

The vacuole is the part of a cell that stores water and nutrients. It acts as a storage organelle and helps maintain the cell's turgor pressure and regulate its internal environment.


What part of cell membrane Is polar and allows the cell to exist in water?

Phosphate groups


What part of the cell membrane is polar and allows the cell to exits in water?

The cell membrane is made out of two layers , a nonpolar and polar part. The polar part is the hydrophilic part , meaning water loving , and the nonpolar is hydrophobic part - water hating. The polar/hydrophilic part is inside of the membrane and the outer portion is the hydrophobic/nonpolar . You don't want the cell to exist in water or be soluble in water because then we would dissolve , all our cells , tissues etc. That's why the cell membranes outer portion is nonpolar and is not miscible with water . The cell membrane allows water molecules to come in and out of the cell by osmosis , and that is when water molecules can free out and in of the cell through the cell membrane .


Why is it important that a cell membrane have a part that is hydrophobic?

The hydrophobic part of the cell membrane helps to repel water, preventing unwanted molecules from passing through. This selective barrier controls what substances can enter and exit the cell, maintaining internal balance and allowing for proper cellular function.


What is the role of water in maintaining the cell structure or turgidity of cell?

In plant cells water enters the cell through at least two methods, but the important part is when the water is in the cell, building up in volume and pressing against the inner cell wall. The cell wall, obeying the laws of physics, pushes back until the pressure is equalized. maintaining structure and turgid conditions within the cell.

What part of the plant cell contains water and dissolved minerals?

The vacuole. In the plant cell, there is only one vacuole that is filled with fluid and helps to maintain the shape of the cell. In the animal cell, the vacuole helps with digestion by filling with food and waste material.


What part of cell helps with cell reproduction?

The part of the cell that helps with reproduction is the centriole. This is made possible by the mitotic spindles that are made by the centriole.

What helps plant cells by absorbing water and storing vital chemicals or wastes?

The central vacuole of a plant absorbs water that helps the cell size to grow and serves as the chemical and waste storage. It is the largest part of the cell.

Is vacuole part of animal?

A vacuole is a part of an animal cell. It contains waste products to be expelled from the cell. [Extra Information: Vacuoles are present in plant cells too. It is the structure that contains water and helps to keep the plant cell rigid.]
