VACUOLE

Vacuole

little pockets in the cytoplasm

which are mostly made up of water
and amino acids
are like trash bags which hold
waste and other materials
sacs in the cell that store water
and other important materials such
as sugars, ions and pigments
provide structural support storage
for nutrients, waste disposal and

water vacuole found in
plant
large central vacuole
usually in plants
many smaller vacuoles in
animal cells
tonoplast membrane

Functions of
Vacuoles

water regulator
enzymatic hydrolysis (plants
and fungi)
storage for organic
compounds
storage for poisonous
compounds
containment waste products

Vacuoles in Plant Cell

in mature plant cells, vacuoles

tend to be very large and are
extremely important in providing
structural support as well as
serving functions such as:

storage
waste disposal
protection
growth

Vacuoles in
Animal cell

in the form of vesicles,

which uses when a cell needs
to move a molecule

vesicles
are
cellular
organelles that are composed
of a lipid bilayer
vesicles also function
in
metabolism
and
enzyme

Disorder related to
vacuoles

Danon disease caused

by when there is a
mutation in the gene then
the lysosome and the
autophagic vacuole fuse
very slowly. By slowly
fusion this allows the
