Cell sap consists of water and various substances that are often in the form of a colloidal suspension. On the average, cell sap has twice the viscosity of water. In dormant seeds and spores the cell sap dehydrates, hydrating again upon germination. Young cells have less cell sap than older ones. The composition of cell sap is specific to families and even to species, depending also on growth conditions, the age of the plant, and the age of the individual cells. Cell sap contains the carbohydrates glucose, fructose, sucrose (grapes, apples, Pears, sugar beets), and inulin (dahlia, Jerusalem artichoke), pectins (citrus, currants, apples), and glycosides (hesperidin, amygdalin); tannins; a number of amino acids (leucine, tyrosine); alkaloids (nicotine, anabasine, caffeine); organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic); and inorganic acids. Calcium oxalate crystals are found as inclusions. The cell sap of some marine algae contains iodine and bromine.

Contains a cell sap and helps to keep a cell firm?
The vacuole contains the cell sap which supports the plant cell. The cell wall of the plant cell supports it and gives it a regular shape too.
What is the solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells?
cell sap.
What is normally found in the vacuole of a cell?
vacuoles are filled with water cell sap which contains food,cell secretions,and wastes
Why do plant cells possess large size vacuole?
Plant cells possess large size vacuoles as plant cell vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Many substances of importance in the life of the plant cell are stored in vacuoles. The central vacuole of some plant cells may occupy 50 - 90% of the cell volume
How are plant vacuoles from animal vacuoles?
Plant cell vacuole is larger then animal cell vacuole
Does the liver have vacuoles which contain cell sap?
Yes, these are called the hepatic lobules. All cells contain cell-sap containing vacuoles.

What is the solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells?
cell sap.
Are vacuoles seen in plant cell?
Yes they filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid
What is normally found in the vacuole of a cell?
vacuoles are filled with water cell sap which contains food,cell secretions,and wastes
What does vacuole contain?
vacuoles contain water, food, or metabolic waste. So it pretty much is a storage place for the plant cell.
What does a vaccuole do?
Vacuoles are parts in a cell that get rid of any waste that the cell may produce
Why do plant cells possess large size vacuole?

What is the vacuoles role in the cell in the cell?
It contains salts, and important materials for the metabolism of the plant. (cell sap) It also controls turgor pressure on the cell wall by pushing outwards against it and makes it firm.
Where are vacuoles in an animal cell?
An animal cell doesn't have vacuoles.
How many vacuoles are found in a cell?
The number of vacuoles in a cell is not definite. But there are a few & small vacuoles in an animal cell and many & big vacuoles in plant cells.
Why plant have big vacuoles?
inside it iscell sap to support it
