How many central vacuoles are in the average cell?

Best Answers

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. read more

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. Eventually, those waste products would be sent out of the cell. 1. The central vacuole is a big vacuole in the middle of a plant. read more

Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap , the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. read more

As a matter of fact Animal Cells do have vacuoles. Even though they are much smaller than the Large Central Vacuole of Plant Cells they still do exist in Animal Cells. Unlike the Large Central Vacuole of the Plant Cells they do not take up 90% of the cells and there are multiple vacuoles, but small ones might I add. read more

Plant cells usually have a large central vacuole containing call sap (sugar and salts in solution) which serves both as a store of food and as a key factor in storing water and in maintaining turgor. Absorbing more water to make a bigger vacuole adds bulk to the plant. read more
