Vakuoliväli

Vakuoliväli, also known as the vacuolar space, is a term used in plant biology to describe the space between the plasma membrane and the tonoplast, the membrane surrounding the vacuole. This space is filled with a semi-liquid substance called the vacuolar sap, which contains various solutes, including sugars, amino acids, and inorganic ions. The vacuolar space plays a crucial role in maintaining the turgor pressure within plant cells, which is essential for cell expansion, growth, and overall plant development. It also serves as a storage compartment for nutrients and waste products, and it can expand or contract in response to changes in the cell's water content. The vacuolar space is a dynamic compartment that contributes significantly to the overall physiology and function of plant cells.
