What else can I help you with?
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
What is the outer covering of vacuole called?
Tonoplast is the outer covering of vacuole
What is vacule membrane?
A vacuole membrane is a membrane that surrounds a vacuole, a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells and some protists. It helps maintain the integrity of the vacuole and regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the vacuole.
What is another name for the central vacuole?
Vesicle
Excess water is removed by what kind of vacuole?
contractile vacuole
What is the vacuole system?
The vacuole system in plants is a large, membrane-bound compartment that is important in water and ion regulation. The vacuole is surrounded by a membrane called the tonoplast. The tonoplast has many membrane-bound proteins that transport water and ions either into or out of the vacuole. The interior of the vacuole is typically maintained at a low pH. Several digestive enzymes are found in the vacuole, and it is the main site of protein turnover and bulk digestion of damaged cellular components. The vacuole system is essential for cellular recycling, maintenance of turgor, and storage of both useful and toxic compounds and ions.
What are the main components of a plant cell and how do they differ from animal cells?
Plant cells have several key components, including a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. These components are unique to plant cells and are not found in animal cells. The cell wall provides structural support and protection, chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, and the central vacuole helps maintain turgor pressure and store nutrients. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, chloroplasts, or a central vacuole, but they do have other organelles such as lysosomes and centrioles that are not typically found in plant cells.
What fuses with a lysosome?
A lysosome can fuse with various cellular components, such as endosomes, phagosomes, or autophagosomes, to either degrade their contents or to transfer materials for recycling. This fusion process allows lysosomes to participate in essential cellular functions, such as waste disposal, nutrient recycling, and pathogen destruction.
What components of a cell are unique for plant cells?
Plant cells contain unique components such as chloroplasts, cell walls made of cellulose, and large central vacuoles. These structures are not present in animal cells and serve specific functions in plant cells, such as photosynthesis, providing structural support, and storing nutrients and waste.
What part of the cell stores waste until it can be removed?
The cell organelle that stores waste until it can be removed is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials, old cell components, and foreign invaders to be recycled or removed from the cell.
Large vesicles that stores enzymes or liquids?
The special vesicles containing enzymes are called Lysosomes.
What are the 3 elements that plant cells have and animals cells do not?
A plant cell has a cell wall, choroplast, and a central vacuole in addition to all of the components of an animal cell.
What are essential components in a cell?
a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, vacuole, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, Golgi complex/apparatus, and a lysosome.
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
What are facts about the Central Vacuole?
its a vacuole
What is the outer covering of vacuole called?
Tonoplast is the outer covering of vacuole
What is compared to vacuole?
Vacuole is compared to a continent
