[L. vacuus, empty] A membrane-enclosed sac taking up most of the interior of a mature plant cell and containing a variety of substances important in plant reproduction, growth, and development.

Membrane-bound cavity within a cell.

Membrane-bound fluid-filled space within a cell. In most plant cells, there is a single large vacuole filling most of the cell's volume. Some bacterial cells contain gas vacuoles.

Structures like bubbles of water within the cytoplasm and separated from the cytoplasm by another phospholipid membrane. The vacuoles will usually be free of microtubules and other proteins. Anthocyan [..]

(n) a tiny cavity filled with fluid in the cytoplasm of a cell

Any spaces or cavities within a Cell. They may function in Digestion, storage, Secretion, or excretion.

a fluid-filled cavity inside a cell

A membrane-bound fluid filled organelle of eukaryote cells

small cavity-shaped cell organelle performing functions such as storage, ingestion, digestion, excretion, and the like visible light

a membrane bound body found within cells used for storage.

A cytosolic membrane-bounded structure containing liquids.

A vacuole () is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial cells and are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with w [..]

"small cavity or vesicle," 1853, from French vacuole, from Medieval Latin vacuola, formed as a diminutive of Latin vacuus "empty" (see vacuum (n.)).

A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

large, round sac floating in the cytoplasm of a cell in which water, food, enzymes and other materials are stored. validate (valid; validity) -
