Question
Functions of : Vacuole.
✓
Answer
- Vacuoles maintain the osmotic pressure of the cell.
- Various metabolic byproducts and end products such as glycogen, proteins, water, etc. are stored in the lysosome.
- In food vacuole of amoeba, the food is temporarily stored till digestion. In other animal cells, vacuoles can store waste products and food.
- Vacuoles of plant cells can provide turgidity and rigidity as it contains good amount of cell sap.

A gas does not even have a fixed volume. Gas expands on heating but if the gas is kept in a closed box, its volume cannot increase but its pressure increases. This is shown in Fig. Observe Fig. and find out answers to the questions.
(1)Using the formula density = mass/volume, explain what will be the effect of heat on the gas kept in a closed bottle.
(2)If the bottle is not closed but has a movable piston attached to its open end (see the figure), what will be the effect of heating the gas in the bottle?
The mass of a tile is 500 g . If the density of the tile is $2.5 g / cm ^3$, what will be the weight of the tile when it is completely immersed in water?
$\left(g=9.8 m / s^2, \rho(\text { water })=1000 kg / m^3\right)$
→$\left(g=9.8 m / s^2, \rho(\text { water })=1000 kg / m^3\right)$
