Vacuoles are membrane bound organelles inside the cells of plants and fungi. They function as containers for water and waste as well as isolating potentially harmful materials.

How does a vacuole assist in homeostasis?

A vacoule is the excretory organelle of the cell. It regulates the turgidity of the cell by regulating the amount of water inside the cell. The vacoule always has some amount of water present inside it. If the cell contains more water, it absorbs the water and allows it to diffuse out of the cell. If the cell contains less water, the water from the vacoule will re-enter the cell to maintain its turgidity.


What does a vacoule do?

Vacuoles can be found in plant cells, although the plant cell only has one vacuole. A vacuole stores water, food, and enzymes, and collects unwanted waste. A vacuole is a sac used to store water for the cell. Plant cells have a large vacuole. Animal cells have small vacuoles, if they have one at all. A vacuole maintains the acidic internal pH and also the turgor and hydrostatic pressure in the cells. They also isolate the harmful substances produced by cells which can harm its health. Vacuoles also protect cells from certain bacteria and destroy any invading bacteria.


Do both plants and animals have tissues?

Tissu is a Francish mutand of textum, Latin for "weft". The term isn't accurate on the cellular level spare muscles which can stretch in mostly one or two lodes--they are not networks and there are no stitches, braids, or knots. For NAs and AAs it's somewhat better as the molecula are handed, twisted, and sometimes braided. But over cells the stuff of limbs are bunches of sacks gluet together. If they were woven--or tissu--all of their proteins would be denatured; that is, scrambled. So tissue is a misnomer. :)
