  1. Central vacuole functions (3)
    • Storage - primary and secondary metabolites
    • Regulation of cell turgor
    • Recycle macromolecules
  2. Central vacuole structure (2)
    • Single membrane (tonoplast)
    • Occupy up to 90% of cell volume
  3. Unique structure of plastids (2)
    • 3 membranes
    • Contains some DNA (semi autonomous)
  4. 4 plastid types and functions
    • Chloroplasts - photosynthesis
    • Chromoplasts - pigment synthesis
    • Leucoplasts - General storage
    • Proplastids - undesignated plastid
  5. Structure of chloroplast
    • A plastid (3 membranes)
