How do vacuoles help fungal cells maintain homeostasis?

Biology

Crazy boy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

VACUOLES are organelles found in cells of plants or fungi.

They play a role in storage of both nutrients and waste products .

They help maintain homeostasis in the following way:

1. MAINTAINING ACIDITY :

In case the pH in the environment drops a lot (becomes very acidic), there is a flux of H ions from the cell's cytoplasm into the cell's vacuole thereby increasing acidity to required level and thus maintaining the specific pH in the cells internal environment as well.

2. TURGIDITY

Vacuoles regulate the turgidity by regulating the amount of water inside the cell.

If cell has excessive water: vacuole absorbs the water and then diffuses it out of the cell.

If cell lacks water: water from the vacuole gets passed back into the cell thereby maintaining turgidity.

Oksana_A [137]

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesize very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.
