  2. Vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    Vacuoles in fungal cells perform similar functions to those in plants and there can be more than one vacuole per cell. In yeast cells the vacuole is a dynamic structure that can rapidly modify its morphology.

  3. Phragmosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmosome

    Phragmosome formation in a highly vacuolated plant cell. From top to bottom: 1) Interphase cell with large central vacuole. 2) Cytoplasmic strands starting to penetrate vacuole. 3) Nucleus migration into center and formation of the phragmosome. 4) Phragmosome formation completed and formation of preprophase band marking future cell division plane.

  4. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  5. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The central and rightmost cell are in interphase, so their DNA is diffuse and the entire nuclei are labelled. The cell on the left is going through mitosis and its chromosomes have condensed. Cell nucleus : A cell's information center, the cell nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell.

  6. 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.

  7. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    They have large central vacuoles, which allow the cells to store and regulate ions, waste products, and water. Tissue specialised for food storage is commonly formed of parenchyma cells. Tissue specialised for food storage is commonly formed of parenchyma cells.

  8. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The pH of vacuoles enables them to perform homeostatic procedures in the cell. For example, when the pH in the cells environment drops, the H + ions surging into the cytosol can be transferred to a vacuole in order to keep the cytosol's pH constant. [33] In animals, vacuoles serve in exocytosis and endocytosis processes. Endocytosis refers to ...

  9. Valonia ventricosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valonia_ventricosa

    This organism possesses a large central vacuole that is multilobular in structure (lobules radiating from a central spheroid region). The entire cell contains several cytoplasmic domains, with each domain having a nucleus and a few chloroplasts. [5] Cytoplasmic domains are interconnected by cytoplasmic "bridges" that are supported by ...
