Where in a plant cell is food water and waste stored?
Food is stored in the form of starch in the plant cell's vacuole, while water is stored in the central vacuole to maintain turgor pressure. Waste products can be stored in vacuoles or transported out of the cell through vesicles for excretion.
Are carbohydrates stored similarly in both plants and animals?
No, carbohydrates are stored differently in plants and animals. In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch, while in animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
What store pigments and toxins in plant cells?
Vacuoles are responsible for storing pigments and toxins in plant cells. Pigments like anthocyanins and carotenoids are stored in vacuoles to give plants their color, while toxins can be stored as a defense mechanism against herbivores.
What is the significance of vacuole in animal cell?
Vacuoles have a functions and/or importances. 1. Vacuoles remove dangerous structural debris. 2. Vacuoles hold the waste/bad things. 3. Vacuoles export unwanted substances. So, for the main part they deal with unwanted substances.
Do carrots have vacuoles?
Yes, carrots do have vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells, including those in carrots. Vacuoles play important roles in storing nutrients, maintaining turgor pressure, and regulating cell size and shape.
