  1. Vacuoles Besher Ashouri Jasmine Samra

  2. Vacuoles • Large Vesicles • Golgi Apparatus andEndoplasmic Reticulum. • Part of the EndomembraneSystem

  3. Functions of Vacuoles • Water regulator • Enzymatic Hydrolysis (Plants and Fungi) • Storage for organiccompounds • Storage for poisonous compounds (Plant Protection) • Containment of wasteproducts • A major player in the growth of plant cells (absorbs water)

  4. Structure of Vacuoles Membrane which surrounds a mass of fluid Animals: Small Vacuoles One or more. Plants: A big Central Vacuole

  5. Central Vacuoles - Plants • Made up of smaller vacuoles • Outside membrane: Tonoplast • Solution inside: Cell Sap cell’s main source of inorganic molecules potassium, chloride
