Difference Between Vesicles and Vacuoles

Feature Vesicles Vacuoles
Size Small in size Larger than vesicles
Function Transport substances inside the cell Store substances like water, food, and waste
Presence Found in both plant and animal cells Large central vacuole in plant cells; small or absent in animals
Structure Small, round, membrane-bound sacs Large, fluid-filled, membrane-bound sacs
Mobility Move freely inside the cell Mostly fixed in place
Examples Transport proteins from ER to Golgi apparatus Store water in plant cells
Formation Formed from Golgi apparatus or cell membrane Formed from endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus
Types Transport vesicles, secretory vesicles, lysosomes Food vacuole, contractile vacuole, central vacuole
Role in Digestion Some vesicles (like lysosomes) help break down materials Some vacuoles store digestive enzymes in simple organisms

Easy Trick to Remember:
Vesicles = Vehicles → They carry things.
Vacuoles = Vacuum → They store things.

Introduction to Analytical Chemistry - Notes Introduction to Analytical Chemistry - Notes 1. Meaning & Scope: Analytical chemistry deals with separation, identification, and quantitative determination of chemical substances. Types of Analysis: Qualitative: Detects presence/absence of elements or ions. Quantitative: Measures the amount of each component. 2. Types of Chemical Analysis: Chemical Methods: Dry tests: Preliminary tests without dissolving the sample. Wet tests: Sample dissolved in solvent for detailed analysis. Qualitative analysis detects cations and anions. Quantitative analysis involves: Gravimetric analysis: Based on mass measurement. Volumetric (Titrimetric) analysis: Based on ...

Chemistry chapter no 7) Modern Periodic Table

-
  🧪 Chapter 7: Modern Periodic Table - Super-Set Question Bank This chapter focuses heavily on reasoning and trends . Examiners often ask "Why?" questions rather than complex calculations. I. Tricky MCQs (Concept Checkers) These questions test if you truly understand the trends, not just memorized them. The element with the highest first ionization enthalpy in the periodic table is: a) Fluorine b) Helium c) Cesium d) Chlorine Answer: (b) Helium Trick: Students often pick Fluorine because it's the most electronegative, but Helium has the stable duplet and is the smallest, making it the hardest to remove an electron from. Identify the species having the largest radius: a) Na b) Na + c) Mg 2+ d) Al 3+ Answer: (a) Na Concept: Cations are smaller than their parent atoms. Among isoelectronic ions like Na + , Mg 2+ , and Al 3+ , the one...
