Name: Ms Vacuole

About Me:
I am a really useful part of the cell. I am present

in both animal, plant, fungal and bacterial cells.

I contain waste products and small molecules.

I also export unwanted substances from the cell.

Work experience:
• I help to isolate harmful materials that may be a threat to the cell. This is important because
the cell will be healthy always.

• Also, I help to maintain an acidic internal pH in the cell.

• I allow plants to support structures due to the pressure of the central vacuole.

• I maintain internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell .

This is how I look like in a plant cell, working really hard, always doing
my job to the fullest.
