    Food vacuoles (also called digestive vacuole [27]) are organelles found in certain protists, such as ciliates, ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    Vacuoles: Vacuoles sequester waste products and in plant cells store water. They are often described as liquid filled spaces and are surrounded by a membrane. Some cells, most notably Amoeba, have contractile vacuoles, which can pump water out of the cell if there is too much water. The vacuoles of plant cells and fungal cells are usually ...

  5. Onion epidermal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_epidermal_cell

    The vacuole is prominent and present at the center of the cell, surrounded by cytoplasm. Firm, small onions are best for microscopy. The epidermal layers are removed by cutting the onion and peeling them off (they are the membrane-like sheaths between each onion layer).

  6. Food vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_vacuole

    The food vacuole, or digestive vacuole, is an organelle found in simple eukaryotes such as protists.This organelle is essentially a lysosome.During the stage of the symbiont parasites' lifecycle where it resides within a human (or other mammalian) red blood cell, it is the site of haemoglobin digestion and the formation of the large haemozoin crystals that can be seen under a light microscope.

  9. Contractile vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contractile_vacuole

    The smallest known contractile vacuoles belong to Chlamydomonas, with a diameter of 1.5 μm. In Paramecium, which has one of the most complex contractile vacuoles, the vacuole is surrounded by several canals, which absorb water by osmosis from the cytoplasm. After the canals fill with water, the water is pumped into the vacuole.
