A vacuole can cause a plant to wilt when it loses water and becomes less turgid. Vacuoles store water and maintain pressure against the cell walls; when they shrink due to water loss, the cells become flaccid, leading to wilting. This usually occurs during drought conditions or when the plant does not uptake sufficient water from the soil. As a result, the overall structural integrity of the plant is compromised, causing it to droop and appear wilted.

What makes plant cells or tissue turgid?
The central vacuole in eukaryotic plant cells. The central vacuole pushes up against the cell membrane to form the structure of the plant. Without water in the central vacuole, the plant begins to wilt.
Which organelle is losing water if the plant is droopy?
In a plant cell, it would be the vacuole. Since the vacuole contains tons of water when in a plant cell, it pushes against the cell walls, stiffening the plant, making it non-droopy (this is called turgor pressure). That's why when plants are dehydrated, they tend to droop- because of their shrunken vacuoles
Why does a plant cell wilt because of the vacule?
A plant cell wilts primarily due to the loss of turgor pressure, which is maintained by the vacuole. The vacuole stores water, and when a plant experiences drought or insufficient water, the vacuole loses water and shrinks. This reduction in turgor pressure causes the cell to become flaccid, leading to wilting. Without adequate turgor pressure, the plant cells cannot maintain their structure, resulting in a drooping appearance.
Is Central vacuole a animal or a plant cell?
The central vacuole is in the plant cell.
What would happen to a plant cell if the vacuole was removed?
you dead and get sick
What provide rigidity in plant cells?
The cell wall and the vacuole. When not supplied enough water, the vacuole will shrivel up, causing a plant to wilt.

Is there a central vacuole in green plants?
In the cells, yes, but the actual plant itself doesn't have any vacuoles. The water filled vacuoles give the plant its shape because it has no bone structure. Plants wilt when the vacuole are empty.
What is the function if vacuole and is it in plant or animal?
a vacuole holds water for the plant cell so it would be plant
What type of cell has a nucleus and a large vacuole?
A plant cell has a larger vacuole than animal cell. The plant cell needs to store more water for photosyheteis and to keep the rigidy of the cell wall. That's why plants wilt when they don't get enough water.
Why do plant cells have bigger valcules than animal cell?
Plant cells have bigger vacuoles filled with cell sap. When you water a plant, the water collects in the vacuole and makes it stiff. This is why plants wilt if they don't get enough water.
Why does a plant cell wilt because of the vacule?
A plant cell wilts primarily due to the loss of turgor pressure, which is maintained by the vacuole. The vacuole stores water, and when a plant experiences drought or insufficient water, the vacuole loses water and shrinks. This reduction in turgor pressure causes the cell to become flaccid, leading to wilting. Without adequate turgor pressure, the plant cells cannot maintain their structure, resulting in a drooping appearance.
What does vacuole do for the cell?
Vacuoles store the water so here is an example : if you water a plant it stays alive, but if you don't give the plant water it eventually starts to wilt, but what happens is the vacuole is getting smaller and smaller cause it is giving the rest of the plant water. When you notice it wilting give the plant water and the vacuole will slowly start to grow to its normal size,but you have to keep giving it water.
What part of a plant would you assume had been damaged if its leaves begin to wilt?
If the 🌱 🍁 began to wilt then the root of a plant would probably be damaged.
Is a vacuole both animal or plant?
The vacuole is only in the plant cell.
Is the vacuole plant or animal?
The vacuole is in fact only in the plant cell.
