In both animal and plant cells a vacuole is called a vacuole.

Plant cells have a a large vacuole, which exists in the cell's cytoplasm. They have one large one unlike animal cells which have small sometimes numerous ones. Vacuoles store food, water, waste products, and other materials. They also keep the the cell membrane strong and keep the adult plant upright.

What is found only in plant cells and stores water?

The vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes for metabolism. The vacuole can store large amounts of water. The vacuole is important in a plant.


What can a vacuole be compared to in real life?

The Plant Vacuole can be compared to a vacuum cleaner They can be compared to a water tank, as they hold the plant cell's water.


Which of the organelles takes up the majority of the volume of the plant cell and is used for food and water storage?

The vacuole is the organelle that takes up the majority of the volume in a plant cell. It is used for storing water, nutrients, and waste products. The central vacuole in plant cells helps maintain turgor pressure and provides structural support to the cell.


Is the vacuole a plant cell or an animal cell?

Vacuoles appear in both animal and plant cells, but they perform different functions. In animal cells, vacuoles are rather small compared to those of plant cells and are more used a receptacles for waste products of the cell. In plant cells, vacuoles serve a much larger purpose. The biggest organelle in the plant cell, the central vacuole, is used to hold water and maintain the structure of the plant cell. In addition, the central vacuole can be used to enlarge and lengthen the cell by taking in water from its surroundings.


Does plants have something like muscles in animals?

No not really. The cell wall in the plant's cells and the central vacuole ( when it's mostly filled up with water and other materials ) help hold the plant's shape. And the plant withers because the plant cell's central vacuole needs water and other materials. With out them, even with the cell wall, the plant will wither.


What is part of a cell and is completely empty?

The vacuole is a cellular organelle that can contain fluid or be empty depending on the cell's needs. It is a storage structure in plant and fungal cells that can hold water, nutrients, or waste products.


What is the function of the vacuole in plants cells?

The Vacuoles help in storing the cell sap like excess waste,water etc.The cell vacuole in plant cell regulates the osmotic pressure of the cell sap.


Large vacuole how?

Large vacuoles in plant cells are formed by the fusion of smaller vacuoles during the maturation process. They play a crucial role in maintaining cell turgidity, storing nutrients, and regulating cell pH. Vacuoles are surrounded by a membrane called tonoplast and contain a solution of water, ions, enzymes, and other materials.


What does a large center vacuole do?

A large central vacuole in plant cells helps maintain cell turgidity by storing water and nutrients, providing structural support to the cell, and regulating cell growth and development. It also helps to maintain the pH balance within the cell and store waste products.
