The Cell: Vacuoles and Lysosomes

The video explains the roles of vacuoles and lysosomes in cells. Vacuoles store food, materials, and water, especially in plant cells. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down large food particles and digest old cell parts. In tadpoles, lysosomes help digest tail cells, which are then reused to form new body parts as the tadpole matures into a frog.

Describe the process that occurs as a tadpole grows and its tail disappears.

What is the significance of the material reused by lysosomes in the development of an adult frog?
