What I learned about the cell vacuole:
Visual Representation:Main Information:
While I was learning about the cell vacuole, at first I was confused because it wasn't self explanatory like the cell wall. Then when we started to talk about it more and I started to understand it very much at this point. The reason for the cell vacuole in the cell is to aid storage of water for the whole cell/organism. I also realized that the vacuole was a membrane bound organelle, stating this, it is only in Eukaryotic cells because prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelles. The vacuole is a cell that has enclosed compartments to store water. In the water there are enzymes and different solution to aid the cell. The main functions that a vacuole is used for is containing waste products, containing water, containing small molecules and enzymes. Also vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane cell vesicles. All of the things a vacuole does are mainly based on which type of cell they are in, example: plant, animal, protist, etc. The vacuole also has to maintain turgor in the cell. Lastly vacuoles have to maintain biogenesis of many cell structures and many substances.
What are some of the specific substances that the vacuole hold besides water?
ReplyDeleteNice project!!! Well organized but could add a little more information. The only questions I have is Why is the Vacuole bigger in a plant cell than in an animal cell?
ReplyDeleteCool post! I also did not know that the water has enzymes in it.
ReplyDeleteIs there a specific purpose to the enzymes held inside the water stored in the vacuole?
