In plants, the vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes, and absorbs the waste products in the cell. In animal cells, smaller vacuoles are used to transport lipids and proteins out of the cell.

Is the vacuole found within a plant cell or animal cell?

Vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells, but they are generally larger and more prominent in plant cells. In plant cells, the vacuole serves various functions such as storing nutrients, water, and waste products, while in animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and play a role in cellular processes like digestion and waste removal.


What part of the cell is a storage unit?

Vacuoles is your answer. In plant cells Vacuoles are very large in animal cells vacuoles are much much smaller usually not even labelled in diagrams.


What protects and supports the plant cell?

The cell wall provides protection and structural support for the plant cell. Additionally, the central vacuole helps to maintain turgor pressure, providing support for the cell and the plant as a whole.


What is the function of a permanent vacuole?

Oh, dude, the permanent vacuole in plant cells is basically like the storage unit of the cell. It stores water, nutrients, and waste products, kind of like a messy garage that you never clean out. So, yeah, it's there to keep things organized and help the cell maintain its shape and structure.


What is the difference between the animal cell and plant cell?

One main difference is that plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, while animal cells do not. Plant cells also typically have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, which animal cells lack. Plant cells often have a large central vacuole, while animal cells have smaller, scattered vacuoles.
