Vacuoles can contain a variety of substances, including water, nutrients, waste products, and occasionally lipids, depending on the type of cell and its specific functions. In plant cells, vacuoles primarily store water and help maintain turgor pressure, but they can also store pigments and other organic compounds. In some specialized cells, vacuoles may store lipids or lipid-derived compounds, but this is not their primary function. Thus, while vacuoles can contain lipids, they are not predominantly lipid storage organelles.

What are Tiny sacs in the cell that may contain starch?
These "tiny sacs" are called vacuoles, but there are many other vacuoles that contain things other than starch.

Incoming nutrients are stored in vacuoles before they are broken down by what?
Incoming nutrients are stored in vacuoles before they are broken down by lysosomes. Lysosomes contain enzymes that can break down various molecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates for the cell to utilize as energy or building blocks. This process is important for nutrient processing and recycling within the cell.

Is glucose stored in adipose tissue?
No. Adipose tissue stores lipids, or fats. Adipocytes (which make up the adipose tissue) are cells, of which most of its volume has been dedicated to vacuoles that contain lipids for long-term energy use.
