Vacuoles Sentence Examples

Bacteria and tiny flagellates are pulled down toward the vacuoles by this flow.

Or more probably it may be the weight of definite particulate structures in their vacuoles.

Within the cytoplasm are found manifestations of functional activity, in the form of digestive vacuoles, granules, fat, glycogen, pigment, and foreign bodies.

It can develop vacuoles, or rather fine bubbles of carbonic acid gas in its cytoplasm, to float up to the surface of the water.

As new cells are continually formed in the merismatic mass those which are farthest from the apex gradually cease to divide and a different process of growth takes place in them, which is associated more particularly with the formation of the vacuoles, consequent upon the establishment of coniiderable hydrostatic pressure in them, thus causing the bulk of the cells to be greatly enlarged.
