  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/Marine_prokaryotes

    Large vacuoles are found in three genera of filamentous sulfur bacteria, the Thioploca, Beggiatoa and Thiomargarita. The cytosol is extremely reduced in these genera and the vacuole can occupy between 40 and 98% of the cell. [145] The vacuole contains high concentrations of nitrate ions and is therefore thought to be a storage organelle. [146]

  4. Vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    Although single large vacuoles are most common, the size and number of vacuoles may vary in different tissues and stages of development. For example, developing cells in the meristems contain small provacuoles and cells of the vascular cambium have many small vacuoles in the winter and one large one in the summer.

  5. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    Having a large surface area, the active uptake of water and minerals through root hairs is highly efficient. Root hair cells also secrete acids (e.g., malic and citric acid), which solubilize minerals by changing their oxidation state , making the ions easier to absorb.

  6. Onion epidermal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_epidermal_cell

    Each plant cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and a large vacuole. The nucleus is present at the periphery of the cytoplasm. The vacuole is prominent and present at the center of the cell, surrounded by cytoplasm. Firm, small onions are best for microscopy.

  7. Valonia ventricosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valonia_ventricosa

    Valonia ventricosa has a coenocytic structure with multiple nuclei and chloroplasts. [5] This organism possesses a large central vacuole that is multilobular in structure (lobules radiating from a central spheroid region). [citation needed] The entire cell contains several cytoplasmic domains, with each domain having a nucleus and a few ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasmic_streaming

    The large central vacuole is one of the largest organelles in a plant cell and is generally used for storage. [10] In Chara coralina, cells can grow up to 10 cm long and 1 mm in diameter. [8] The diameter of the vacuole can occupy around 80% of the cell's diameter. [11] Thus for a 1 mm diameter cell, the vacuole can have a diameter of 0.8 mm ...
