Q. Which cells contain large vacuoles?
The plant has the largest vacuole than animal cells because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to help the plant remain upright.
Q. Why do animal cells have small vacuoles?
Animal cells have small vacuoles because they don’t need to store as much water as other organisms such as plants.
Q. Do animal cells have many small vacuoles?
Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.
Q. What animal cells have vacuoles?
A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.
Q. Is there a central vacuole in an animal cell?
The lysosomes are the animal cell’s “garbage disposal”, while in plant cells the same function takes place in vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.
Q. What happens to a cell if there is no vacuole?
If a cell did not have a vacuole, then it would be unable to carry out its usual functions and would eventually die. In plants, the vacuole plays an important role in water storage and the maintenance of structure.
Q. How vacuoles are formed?
Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these. The organelle has no basic shape or size; its structure varies according to the requirements of the cell.
Q. How does a lysosome look like?
A lysosome (/ˈlaɪsəˌsoʊm/) is a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules.
Q. What would happen if you didn’t have lysosomes?
Lysosomes are the membrane-bound vesicles, which contain digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes like acid hydrolase. If there were no lysosomes in the cell, it will not be able to digest food and there would be accumulation of wastes like worn out parts inside the cell. Thus, cell will not be able to survive.
Q. What is the lysosome function?
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Q. Which is smallest cell?
Mycoplasma
