rift valley. 1  A long, narrow valley lying between two normal geologic faults. Rift valleys usually form where the Earth's lithosphere has become thin through extension associated with plate-tectonic processes. 2  The deep undersea valley located along the center of the mid-ocean ridge.
Vacuoles and lysosomes have similar functions. Vacuoles in plant cells are in some respects the equivalent of lysosomes in animal cells. The environment inside a vacuole is slightly acid (pH about 5.0) whilst for the rest of the cytosol it is slightly alkaline (about pH 7.2).acuoles and lysosomes have similar functions.

Vacuoles in animal cells store food, water, waste, and minerals like plant cells. The only difference is that plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.he vacuole cell is in plants (edit) The vacuole is not a cell, but it is found within both the plant and animal cells. The vacuole is an organelle that can be found in both â¦ plant cells and animal cells, and have different functions for each. Answered. In Zoology or Animal Biology.
