Cells - Vacuoles

The video explains the role of vacuoles in cells, highlighting their functions in amoebas and plant cells. In amoebas, food vacuoles store consumed plant material, while contractile vacuoles help maintain osmotic balance. In plant cells, the central vacuole occupies a significant portion of the cell, storing water, nutrients, and waste, and maintaining turgor pressure for structural support.

How does the contractile vacuole maintain osmotic balance?

Explain the importance of turgor pressure in plants.
