  2. Thiomargarita namibiensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomargarita_namibiensis

    Despite the large size of T. namibiensis, its primary mechanism for nutrient uptake is still through normal diffusion. [35] T. namibiensis can perform normal diffusion due to the reduced amount of cytoplasm as a result of its large vacuoles. [13] These large central vacuoles, which act as reserves, are the source of the large size of T ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirostomum

    A single contractile vacuole is positioned at the posterior end of the organism, attached to a collecting canal that extends towards the anterior end. When filled with fluid, the vacuole takes up a substantial portion of the posterior end. The distinction between the contractile vacuole and the rest of the cytoplasm is usually very clear. [6 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_vacuolation

    Artifactual vacuoles are small and of uniform size and distribution, in contrast to toxic vacuoles whose size and placement are variable. [1] Individuals with neutral lipid storage disease may exhibit persistent lipid-filled vacuoles in neutrophils and other granulocytes, which is a distinct phenomenon termed Jordans' anomaly .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    The anthocyanin-storing vacuoles of Rhoeo spathacea, a spiderwort, in cells that have plasmolyzed. Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole that typically occupies more than 30% of the cell's volume, and that can occupy as much as 80% of the volume for certain cell types and conditions. [21] Strands of cytoplasm often run through the vacuole.

  6. Paramecium caudatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramecium_caudatum

    The food vacuoles are circulated by the streaming movement of the endoplasm which is called cyclosis. In hypotonic conditions (freshwater), the cell absorbs water by osmosis . It regulates osmotic pressure with the help of bladder-like contractile vacuoles, gathering internal water through its star-shaped radial canals and expelling the excess ...

  8. Iodamoeba buetschlii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodamoeba_buetschlii

    The trophozoite has a single nucleus, prominent for nuclear endosome and many cytoplasmic vacuoles. The ectoplasm and the granular endoplasm are often hard to distinguish. The nucleus is fairly large and vesicular, containing a large endosome, surrounding by light staining granules about midway between it and the nuclear membrane.
