  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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Spirostomum - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Vorticella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticella

    The food vacuoles may show as a brown or grey colour, but depends on the food eaten. Zoochlorellae, food reserves and waste granules, which are abundant in the cytoplasm, may create the impression that Vorticella is an opaque cell. [5] Vorticella has a pellicle with striae running parallel around the cell. This pellicle may be decorated with ...

  7. Vacuole - Wikipedia

    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.

  9. Vesicle (biology and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

    Plant cells have a large central vacuole in the center of the cell that is used for osmotic control and nutrient storage. Contractile vacuoles are found in certain protists, especially those in Phylum Ciliophora. These vacuoles take water from the cytoplasm and excrete it from the cell to avoid bursting due to osmotic pressure.
