Understanding Vacuoles and Vesicles in Plant and Animal Cells
Explore the roles of vacuoles and vesicles in plant and animal cells. Learn how vacuoles differ in hydration and food/waste focus, and understand the significance of large vesicles in storing water, nutrients, and waste products. Discover the importance of cell pressure, endomembrane systems, and processes like phagocytosis in cellular functions.

Presentation Transcript
The plant vacuole is geared more toward the hydration of the organism and the animal vacuole focuses more on the food and waste.
Large vesicles Single organelle that is membrane bound Enclosed in eukaryotic cells Made of the same phospholipids that the plant or animal cell membranes are composed of Derive from the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus
Larger in plant cells Size ranges from 50-95% of the cell Stores water, food, nutrients, and waste products It gains and loses water depending on water is available to the plant

Important part of cells endomembrane because they are selective in which solutes are transported Capture food materials and unwanted structural debris Remove toxic materials Maintain fluid balance Export unwanted substances.
