CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU HAVE FOUND THE VACUOLE!
How is the book room like the vacuole?
What would represent the food, the water, and the waste?
The vacuole is a very important cell organelle to all types of cells but it has the
most important job in the plant cell. You can think of the vacuole as sort of a storage
container, it can store water, food, and waste. Vacuoles also isolate unwanted bacteria
and dispose of them so they do not harm the cell. The vacuoles in both plant and animal
cells are made from Golgi bodies inside the cell. Vacuoles are made up of multiple
membrane vesicles. Certain substances created by the cell that are unwanted and
could be harmful to other organelles are isolated and taken care of by being sent to the
Golgi bodies. Vacuoles bring their stored material to any organelle inside the cell that
needs it or to other cells if they need the stored material. Vacuoles in plant and animal
cells are different in size and numbers but they ultimately have the same functions. In a
plant cell, there is one central vacuole that is very big and has lots of room. Animal cells
have many vacuoles but they are really small. A plant cells vacuole would process
chlorophyll and chloroplast while the animal cell does not even have chloroplast
organelles. It is estimated that the central vacuole in a plant cell takes up 80% of the
cell. Something to help you remember that it stores water is to think of a camel hump.
When the camel has humps that means that it has water. It could last a long time on
that. Same thing with the vacuole. When it stores that \water, it can survive a while
without water.
