Write main functions of vacuoles and mitochondria

Dear student,

Functions of mitochondria:

  • They produce energy required for cells in the form of ATP.

  • They also regulate the free calcium ion concentration in the cytosol.

  • They participate in apoptosis or programmed cell death.

Functions of vacuoles:

  • They help in the removal of unwanted structural debris.

  • They store all the waste products of cells.

  • They maintain the turgor pressure within cells.

  • In Amoeba, food vacuoles store food.


    ​​​​​​Regards

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 structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth
