THE Vacuole

2. What is a vacuole? Vacuoles are fluid filled sacs found in cells.
The sacs hold vital materials needed by the cell.
These materials include water, ions, enzymes, and food molecules.
Inside food molecules, ATP is stored.
ATP is a necessary for many processes within the cell.

3. What is a central vacuole?
Central Vacuoles are found only in plants.
They store the water and waste in the plant cell.

4. Vacuoles IN both Plants and Animals
Vacuoles appear in both plant and animal cells. In plants they specifically hold water, but in animals they hold food and water.

5. Why are vacuoles so important?
With Vacuoles:
Vacuoles are important because they provide storage for the food and water that the plant/animal cell needs, but cannot use immediately.
They also store some of the cells waste, that the lysosomes then breaks down.
Without Vacuoles:
The cell would have to use all food and water created/found by the cell immediately. That would require ATP and in order to use the food and water the cell would have to take ATP away from other cell processes.
Long term food and water would be lost.

6. More more more
Vacuoles work closely with vesicles, in the transport of food and water.
Vacuoles also help with structure. In plants, when the central vacuoles are full the plant stands up, when the central vacuoles are empty the plant sags or wilts.
Vacuoles help store waste to protect the plant from contamination.
Vacuoles can act as water balloons and hold extra water to stiffen up a part of the cell and form a more useful shape.
