Question

Do vacuoles store energy?

Answer 1

Vacuoles:

1. Vacuoles are used by plant cells to transport and store metabolites, waste products, and nutrients.
2. Since they trap sunlight rather than moving to gather food, these vacuoles are crucial to them.
3. Tonoplasts bind vacuoles and keep them from interacting with the cytoplasm. It contributes to preserving osmotic pressure
4. A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle found in some protist, animal, and bacterial cells as well as plant and fungal cells.
5. Vacuoles transport and store nutrients.
