The Central Vacuole
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The central vacuole is a large plant organelle regulating the cell's water content and supporting its expansion without needing new cytoplasm.
Show
A plant wilts when its central vacuole loses water faster than the soil replaces it, leaving the wall unsupported.
Watch for
The vacuole supports the wall through water pressure; losing that water leaves the wall intact but unsupported.
