Our textbook tells us that SOME animal cells contain vacuoles. However, some sources say that animal cells do not contain traditional vacuoles at all. What they do contain are vesicles-small round containers used for storage. I have read that these vesicles are just called vacuoles for the sake of simplifying for middle school students. Helpful or inaccurate?
If you get a chance do some research and try to find out what this vacuole debate is all about? Do animal cells really not contain vacuoles at all or is "vacuole" just a general term used to describe a storage sac in any cell?
Post what you find!

I think we should know the real name instead of vacuole because i think one more organelle to memorize isn't so bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gui Gui. I think we should know the real name instead of vacoule because then it will be more accurate. And it will teach everyone something new.
ReplyDeletei think we shouldnt learn another name
ReplyDeleteWow. Oh my god! I never knew that!!! That is sooo cool! That's really amazing. But i wonder what we use it for???
