  1. The Vacuole By Joe Anonuevo and Adam Deuber

  2. What is a vacuole? • Membrane-bond sac • Helps Intracellular digestion • e generally small in in animals • Are large in plants • Act as storage units • Vacuoles and water together help plant growth

  3. What are they made of? • Made of water • Made of amino acids • Made of Pigments • Consists of a membrane

  4. Where is the vacuole located It is located is located in the cytoplasm of the cell.

  5. In plants vacuoles store nicotine and other toxins it converts to a repellent to herbivores.

  6. The vacuole also serves as waste disposal and recycling center for worn-out organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, and in this function they are similar to lysosomes in animal cells.

  7. Water intake expands the vacuole which aids in the driving force of growth in plant cells.

  8. In animal cells, vacuoles are used as storage units for essential nutrients needed to survive

  9. The structure of the vacuole consists of a simple membrane surrounding fluid that contains waste and nutrients.

  10. Vacuoles are most prominent in plants rather than animal cells; however, they both have the same functions in both cells.
