Question 1

What is the membrane of a vacuole called?

Answer 1

Tonoplast

Question 2

What is a vacuole filled with?

Answer 2

It is filled with cell sap which contains water and dissolved substances

Question 3

Difference between vacuole in plant cells and animal cells

Answer 3

In animal cells there are small vavuoles and in plant cells there are large vavuoles

Question 4

What happens to the vacuoles in the plant cells when they are young?

Answer 4

Young plants have many vacuoles and as the plant matures the vacuoles join and become one

Question 5

Descrive the turgid process

Answer 5

Water moves into a plant cell
It gets larger
As water filled the vacuole,it gets larger and pushes against the cytoplasm which them pushes against the cell wall
Then the cell wall pushes back in equal force in the opposite direction against the cytoplasm

Question 6

Describe the Flaccid process

Answer 6

Lots of water moves out if the vacuole
The vacuole doesn’t push against the cell wall and the cell membrane
When cells are flaccid the plant wilts

Question 7

What is the vessicle

Answer 7

The vessicle transports substances from the Golgi body to places within or outside the cell

Question 8

What is a lysosome and where is it found

Answer 8

It is found in an animal cell
Contains digestive enzymes
It digests material taken in from environment and parts of the cell such as worn out organelles
Surrounded by a membrane

Question 9

Function of vacuole

Answer 9

Regulates water content of cells
