Vacuole
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing… More »

The origin and development of vacuoles in root and root cap cells of Lepidium sativum was investigated at the ultrastructural level. The vacuoles originated as vesiculations of the ER, and acid phosphatase activity was found associated with the membranes bounding developing vacuoles.
