When a vacuole is full, it helps regulate cell turgor pressure by maintaining the proper balance of water and nutrients within the cell. If excess water or waste products are present, the vacuole may release them outside the cell through a process called exocytosis.
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
The outer covering of a vacuole is called the tonoplast. This membrane surrounds the vacuole and helps regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the vacuole.
The central vacuole stores water, food, and wastes in plant cells. It helps provide structural support to the cell by maintaining turgor pressure when full, which is essential for maintaining the cell's shape and rigidity.
A vacuole membrane is a membrane that surrounds a vacuole, a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells and some protists. It helps maintain the integrity of the vacuole and regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the vacuole.
A vacuole stores materials in the cell.
