How does the cell membrane maintain homeostasis?

Back

By regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the role of vacuoles in plant cells compared to animal cells?

Back

Vacuoles in plant cells are larger and primarily store water, while in animal cells they are smaller and store various substances.
