Cell sap consists of water and various substances that are often in the form of a colloidal suspension. On the average, cell sap has twice the viscosity of water. In dormant seeds and spores the cell sap dehydrates, hydrating again upon germination. Young cells have less cell sap than older ones. The composition of cell sap is specific to families and even to species, depending also on growth conditions, the age of the plant, and the age of the individual cells. Cell sap contains the carbohydrates glucose, fructose, sucrose (grapes, apples, Pears, sugar beets), and inulin (dahlia, Jerusalem artichoke), pectins (citrus, currants, apples), and glycosides (hesperidin, amygdalin); tannins; a number of amino acids (leucine, tyrosine); alkaloids (nicotine, anabasine, caffeine); organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic); and inorganic acids. Calcium oxalate crystals are found as inclusions. The cell sap of some marine algae contains iodine and bromine.

Does the liver have vacuoles which contain cell sap?

Yes, these are called the hepatic lobules. All cells contain cell-sap containing vacuoles.


Contains a cell sap and helps to keep a cell firm?

The vacuole contains the cell sap which supports the plant cell. The cell wall of the plant cell supports it and gives it a regular shape too.


Are vacuoles seen in plant cell?

Yes they filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid


What is normally found in the vacuole of a cell?

vacuoles are filled with water cell sap which contains food,cell secretions,and wastes


Does an animal cell have cell sap?

No, animal cells do not have cell sap. Cell sap is a fluid found in the vacuoles of plant cells, which store water, sugars, ions, and pigments. Animal cells do not have a central vacuole like plant cells, so they do not contain cell sap.


What is the solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells?

The solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells is called cell sap. It is primarily composed of water, along with various ions, sugars, enzymes, and other nutrients. The vacuole plays a crucial role in maintaining turgor pressure and storing essential substances for the cell.


What filled with cell sap?

The Vacuole :)


What contains liquid wastes in a cell?

Liquid wastes in a cell are contained in structures called vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that store and transport various substances, including liquid wastes, within the cell. They help maintain cellular homeostasis by regulating the volume and composition of the cell's internal environment.


What are pseudo vacuoles?

Pseudo vacuoles are structures formed within a cell that resemble vacuoles but do not perform the same functions. They may be the result of cellular processes such as vesicle formation or organelle degradation, and can vary in size and composition. Pseudo vacuoles are not true vacuoles, which are membrane-bound organelles with specific roles in storage, waste management, and cell maintenance.


What is the vacuoles role in the cell in the cell?

It contains salts, and important materials for the metabolism of the plant. (cell sap) It also controls turgor pressure on the cell wall by pushing outwards against it and makes it firm.


What stores cell sap?

Ah, cell sap is like the lifeblood of a plant, flowing through its cells and keeping it healthy and hydrated. It's stored in the vacuoles of plant cells, kind of like a little storage tank filled with water, nutrients, and other important substances. Just like how we need water to thrive, plants rely on their cell sap to stay strong and vibrant.


Where are vacuoles in an animal cell?

An animal cell doesn't have vacuoles.
