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.
Vacuoles also act as storage compartments for various substances, which include water and nutrients such as amino acids, sugars and waste products.
The type of cell that vacuoles provide structural support for is mature plant cells which provide the structural support for the plant cells by maintaining turgor pressure, which is the pressure that is exerted by the cell's contents against the cell wall.
Plant cells have a large central vacuole that can occupy up to 90 percent of the cell's volume.
Plant cells have both vesicles and vacuoles.
The vacuoles in the plant cells are the specialized type of vesicle which is particularly large and prominent in plant cells and is used for storage, turgor pressure regulation as well as other functions.
The vesicles are small, membrane bound sacs which are involved in various cellular processes including storage and transport.
Vascuoles are larger, fluid filled sacs and in plant cells and are often a very large, central vacuole, which can take up a significant portion of the cell's volume.
Plant vacuoles are involved in maintaining the cell turgor pressure that helps the plant stand upright.
The plant vacuoles also store water, nutrients, and waste products and play a role in breaking down macromolecules and some plant cells also have lytic vacuoles which are involved in breaking down cellular components.
Plant cells contain 2 functionally distinct vacuolar compartments which are "lytic vacuoles" for degradation and "protein storage vacuoles" for reserve accumulation.
Lytic vacuoles are acidic, hydrolytic compartments that are responsible for breaking down macromolecules.
Protein storage vacuoles accumulate proteins in storage organs such as seeds.
Humans cells and animal cells have more than 2 vacuoles and the exact number is not fully known.
The three main types of vacuoles are gas vacuoles, contractile vacuoles and food vacuoles.
Food vacuoles are formed by phagocytosis, where a cell engulfs solid food particles and they also contain digestive enzymes to break down the food.
Gas vacuoles are found in certain bacteria and cyanobacteria and contain gases, which help the organisms to float or adjust their buoyancy in water.
Contractile vacuoles are specialized vacuoles found in protists which help to regulate water balance by pumping excess water out of the cell and is a process called osmoregulation.
The enzymes that are involved in vacuoles is hydrolytic enzymes like hydrolases which are active at the acidic pH within the lysosome to break down various types of molecules.
Hydrolytic enzymes such as hydrolases are enzymes involved in vacuoles in humans and in plant cells the vacuoles contain a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, which include vacuolar processing enzymes, which are cysteine proteases, and acid hydrolases like alpha mannosidase, beta N acetylglucosaminidase, and beta fructosidase which are involved in several different processes which include cell death and degradation of cellular components.
Vacuoles are membrane bound organelles that are found in both plants and animals.
And in a way vacuoles are specialized lysosomes which means the function of the vacuoles is really to handle waste products and essentially means that it takes in waste products and gets rid of the waste products.
In human cells, vacuoles are membrane organelles that are similar to lysosomes which primarily function in waste management and storage although the vacuoles play a less prominent role when compared to their counterparts in plant cells.
Vacuoles store nutrients and water on which a cell can rely for its survival.
The vacuoles also store the waste from the cell and prevents the cell from contamination.
Food vacuoles (also called digestive vacuole) are organelles found in certain protists, such as ciliates, amoeboids and Plasmodium falciparum, a protozoan parasite that causes malaria.
Food vacuoles have a single-layered membrane, known as a plasma membrane, that is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
Food vacuoles are found in all eukaryotic cells of organisms such as protists, animals, and plants.
Vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE) functions in the activation of various types of proteins in the vacuole.
VPE can self-activate in the vacuole.
After the activation, VPE cleaves precursors of vacuolar proteins to their active forms.
Vacuoles, which are membrane-bound compartments within cells, contain a fluid called cell sap, which is a solution of water, salts, sugars, and other dissolved substances, and can also store waste products and pigments.
