A vacuole that contains toxic molecules is often referred to as a "toxicosome." These specialized vacuoles store harmful compounds that can deter herbivores and pathogens, playing a critical role in the plant's defense mechanisms. Toxicosomes may contain alkaloids, phenolics, or other secondary metabolites that can be toxic or unpalatable to potential threats. Their presence helps in protecting the plant from predation and environmental stresses.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle stores the plant cells water?
Vacuoles, which are enclosed compartments which are filled with water. However they also contain inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution and food particles.
What cell organelle is a very large fluid-filled sac used for strength and support?
A central vacuole is in a plant cell, it has a very large fluid-filled sac used for strength and support. The central vacuole also has toxic molecules and storage molecules.
What is the outer covering of vacuole called?
Tonoplast is the outer covering of vacuole
What contains water and dissolved minerals in the cell?
The vacuole in plant cells contains water and dissolved minerals. It helps regulate water content and maintain turgor pressure within the cell.
What contains water or dissolved materials?
Vacuole
What organelle stores the plant cells water?
Vacuoles, which are enclosed compartments which are filled with water. However they also contain inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution and food particles.
What does vacuole in the cell?
the vacuole contains the sap
What is the purpose of a food vacuole?
The food vacuole is also called as digestive vacuole. It is an organelle that can be found in parasites. This is the organelle that causes malaria.
What cell organelle is a very large fluid-filled sac used for strength and support?
A central vacuole is in a plant cell, it has a very large fluid-filled sac used for strength and support. The central vacuole also has toxic molecules and storage molecules.
What is the outer covering of vacuole called?
Tonoplast is the outer covering of vacuole
What contains water and dissolved minerals in the cell?
The vacuole in plant cells contains water and dissolved minerals. It helps regulate water content and maintain turgor pressure within the cell.
What contains water or dissolved materials?
Vacuole
Is vacuoles composed of phospholipids and other embedded molecules?
Yes, a vacuole is made up of phospholipids and other embedded molecules. The vacuole is also known as a cell membrane.
How are undigested nutrients in a vacuole made available to a cell?
Undigested nutrients in a vacuole are typically broken down further by enzymes within the vacuole to release smaller molecules. These smaller molecules can then be transported across the vacuole membrane into the cell's cytoplasm for utilization.
What organelle breaks down food into molecules the cell can use?
The organelle that breaks down food into molecules the cell can use is the lysosome. It contains enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.
What is the different between animal cell vacuole and plant cell vacuole?
The difference, is that the vacuole in a plant cell is like a storage unit. It contains extra waste that the plant doesn't need, such as extra water or extra sugar. Inside of an animal cell the Vacuole contains air.
What does food vacuole do?
site where organic molecules are broken down
