The different types of vacuoles are sap vacuoles, contractile vacuoles, food vacuoles and gas vacuoles.
Gas vacuoles are also known as air vacuoles and are found in some bacteria and cyanobacteria and are responsible for buoyancy and gas storage and allows the organisms to float in water.
Food vavuoles are vacuoles that are involved in digestion of food particles and are found in the cells of protozoan protists, some lower animals and phagocytes of higher animals and are formed by the fusion of phagosome "containing the food particle" and a lysosome containing digestive enzymes.
Contractile vacuoles are specialized for osmoregulation "regulating water balance" and waste removal, particularly in protists and some algae.
They have a highly extensible and collapsible membrane and are also connected to feeding canals which collect water and waste products.
Sap vacuole are fluid filled vacuoles or vesicles that are found in both plant and animal cells and contain water and dissolved substances such as sugars, salts, and enzymes and in mature plant cells they can fuse to form a large central vacuole, which can occupy up to 90 percent of the cell's volume.
The reason it's important for the cells to have vacuoles, especially in plant cells is because they play vital roles in storage and maintaining of cells structure also known as turgor pressure and detoxification.
Vacuole in cells also contribute to the development, growth and defense mechanisms.
Vacuole also provides functions such as protection, waste disposable and storage.
The organelles that vacuoles work with lysosomes "in animal cells" and the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus for various functions, which include waste breakdown, storage as well as transport.
Plant vacuoles are functionally similar to lysosomes in animal cells and both are involved in the breaking down of waste materials and cellular debris.
Vacuoles interact with other organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus and vacuoles also play an important role in structure of plants.
The cells that vacuoles work with are animal cells, plant cells and fungi as well as certain protisits.
In animal cells, vacuoles are often smaller and help to sequester waste productions and in plant cells, vacuoles help to maintain water balance and sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of a plant cell.
Lysosomes and vacuole work together to aid in waste removal and digestion in eukaryotic cells as lysosomes contain digestive enzymes which break down material that are taken into the vacuoles such as cellular debris and food particles.
Lysosomes and vacuoles do work together and most particularly in processes such as waste removal and intracellular digestion, where vacuoles can also act as storage compartments and lysosomes break down the contents.
Vacuoles are membrane bound organelles which serve as storage compartments for various substances such as water, nutrients and waste products and they also play a role in maintaining cell turgor pressure and can also transport substances within the cell.
And lysosomes are specialized vacuoles which contain digestive enzymes, in which they use to break down macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids and they also play a role in the recycling of cellular components and destroy pathogens.
Vacuoles can also in some cases act as food vacuoles or phagosomes and engulf material from outside the cell through phagocytosis.
The vacuoles then will fuse with lysosomes and allow the lysosomal enzymes to break down the engulfed material.
Lysosomes and vacuoles are the same in that they both are membrane bound organelles in eukaryotic cells and both lysosomes and vacuoles are used for storage and vacuoles are a type of all purpose storage system.
Vacuoles do act as lysosomes by degrading cellular components and materials by acting as a type of plant or fungal lysosome.
Lysosomes are membrane bound organelles that are found in animal cells which contain digestive enzymes and break down waste materials, cellular debris and engulfed pathogens.
Vacuoles are also membrane bound organelles although they are more prominent in plant and fungal cells.
Some vacuoles in plant and fungal cells contain hydrolytic enzymes, similar to the ones found in lysosomes and can perform the same functions of breaking down cellular components.
The organelles that are related to vacuoles are Lysosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus and Mitochondria.
Mitochondria is connected to the ER by ERMES and to the vacuole by vCLAMP and Lipids are imported into mitochondria through both contact sites.
Vacuoles obtain ER synthesized lipids via Golgi dependent vesicular traffic and possibly through direct contacts with the ER at the nucleus or N vacuole junction.
And in plant cells, vacuoles can also be seen as the equivalent of lysosomes in animal cells and plays a role in breaking down waste and cellular debris.
The vacuole is considered the most important organelle because of it's large volume and that it's involved in organic and inorganic molecules and in doing so it also functions in homeostasis.
The vacuole is important in storing the molecules that are necessary for plant defense and the osmoticum that is necessary for generating turgor pressure in plants.
However while the vacuoles are indeed crucial for cellular processes, particularly in plant cells, it's not really the most important organelle because the nucleus and other organelles also play vital roles.
The Vacuoles are very essential in waste disposal, storage and maintaining cell structure and especially turgor pressure, especially in plants.
Vacuoles are different mainly in their size and amount depending on if it's in animals or plants.
The difference of vacuoles is that in plant and animal cells the cells in plant and animals varies in their size and number.
Plant cells often have one large central vacuole and animal cells often have multiple vacuoles that are smaller in size.
Plant cells have a single, large central vacuole which can occupy up to 90 percent of the cell's volume.
The large vacuole in plant cells stores water, which helps to maintain the cell's rigidity and shape and stores water, nutrients, ions and waste products and the vacuole also helps to regulate water balance within the cell.
Plant vacuoles are generally permanent structures.
Animal cells often have multiple, smaller vacuoles and animal vacuoles have a more limited and varied role and they store water, ions and nutrients but to a lesser extent than in plant cells and can help sequester waste products.
Animal vacuoles can also assist in the processes of endocytosis and exocytosis.
The difference between vacuoles and Golgi bodies is Golgi bodies also known as Golgi apparatus are involved in the processing, sorting and packaging of lipids and proteins and often for export from the cell.
And Vacuoles are storage organelles and are particularly important in maintaining cell turgor pressure in plant cells.
Vacuoles store various substances, including water and nutrients such as amino acids, sugars and waste products.
The 3 things that vacuoles are used for are storage, waste management and Turgor pressure.
Vacuoles isolate and store waste products and prevent them from harming the cell's internal environment.
In plant cells, vacuoles play a crucial and important role in maintaining turgor pressure that is pressure exerted b the cell's contents against the cell wall and provides for structural support and rigidity.
