Where is a vacuole?

Vacuoles are storage centers for food and waste in cells. Some vacuoles are storage areas for water. Plant cells have a large vacuole that helps maintain the structure of the plant cell by storing water. Vacuoles are distributed throughout the cell's cytoplasm. read more

Vacuoles in fungal cells perform similar functions to those in plants and there can be more than one vacuole per cell. In yeast cells the vacuole is a dynamic structure that can rapidly modify its morphology. read more

Vacuoles are water-filled storage spaces found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells (but they are more common in plant cells they. read more

Amoeba proteus expresses a single AQP that is present in the contractile vacuole complex required for osmoregulation, whereas Dictyostelium discoideum expresses four AQPs, of which two are present in the single-celled amoeboidal stage and two more in the later multicellular stages preceding spore formation. read more

Vacuoles are found in the cells of plants, protists, and some primitive animals. In mature plant cells, there is usually one large vacuole which occupies a large part of the cell's volume and is filled with a liquid called cell sap. read more
