Vacuoles are fluid-filled sacs covered by a semipermeable membrane called tonoplast. They arise from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies. Cell sap contains water, minerals, gases, sugars, organic acids, wastes, and pigment. The animal cell contains small-sized vacuoles and plant cells contain large-sized vacuoles. But in the case of number, it is opposite to each other means animal cells have a large number of vacuoles and plant cell have few numbers of vacuoles. Vacuoles can be:- Sap vacuole, Contractile vacuole, Food vacuole, and Gas vacuole. So take this quiz and check your knowledge that how much you know about vacuole.
