what is the function of the central vacuole in a plant cell?
161528
Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.

The cell membrane controls the movements of substance that comes in and goes out of the cell. The vacuole helps to isolate materials that could possibly be a threat to the cell and also helps in passing on waste products from the cell.

Plant cells have plasmodesmata, a cell wall, a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and plastids. Animal cells have lysosomes and centrosomes.

Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.

This organelle is only found in animal cells not plant cells. ... In contrary, there are organelles that plant cells have that animal cells do not; such as plastids (leucoplasts, chromoplasts, and chloroplasts), a central vacuole, and a cell wall. A central vacuole is needed to store water for the plant to live.

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

Also called the vacuolar membrane, the tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane surrounding a vacuole, separating the vacuolar contents from the cell's cytoplasm. As a membrane, it is mainly involved in regulating the movements of ions around the cell, and isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell.

Animal cells have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. The centrosome is a microtubule-organizing center found near the nuclei of animal cells while lysosomes take care of the cell's digestive process.

Some scientists refer to a “food vacuole” as any large sac inside a cell that contains food for the cell; vacuoles are used to store cellular fuel by some cells in animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms.

The components of a cell and their functions are described: membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus. In addition to these, plant cells also have a cell wall, vacuole and often chloroplasts. The function of each of these components is also described.

Plant Cell Structures Structures found in plant cells but not animal cells include a large central vacuole, cell wall, and plastids such as chloroplasts. The large central vacuole is surrounded by its own membrane and contains water and dissolved substances.

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.

What is the function of the cell wall in the onion cell you looked at? It protects the cell and provides shape and support. What color and shape were the onion root cells? What organelles or cellular structures were common to all the different organisms looked at with the microscope?

Animal Cells versus Plant Cells Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Plant cells have cell walls, one large vacuole per cell, and chloroplasts, while animal cells will have a cell membrane only and several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells also have a centriole, which is not found in most plant cells.

A vacuole (/ˈvækjuːoʊl/) is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial cells. ... The organelle has no basic shape or size; its structure varies according to the requirements of the cell.
