Mitochondria and Vacuole By: Chase Mccottry,Walker Chavatel,Kyle Bollinger What does it look Like? • The vacuole looks like a large bag or sac inside of a cell. • The mitochondria is an oval shaped energy generator that lives in an organisms cells. What kind of Cells? • The vacuole is found in both plant and animal cells. Fun fact: In the plant cell the vacuole is larger than it is in the animal cell. • The mitochondria is also found in both plant and animal cells. Vacuole in plant cell Where is the Organelle Located? • The vacuole is located inside of the cell wall and membrane in the cytoplasm. There is no specific place where a vacuole is located but it always inside of the cell wall and membrane. • The mitochondria is located in the cells cytoplasm, outside of the nucleus. What does the cell do? • The vacuole stores water, food and waste the cell does not need. Usually the vacuole is a sac like structure good for storing products. The vacuole also maintains ph within the cell. • The mitochondria breaks down food and converts it to energy for the cells use. What role? • The vacuole would be a freezer or a lunchroom because it stores the food and waits until the cell needs it. • The mitochondria would be the electric source or generator due to the fact it converts food into energy.
