A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formationâlong, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
A vacuole (/ËvaekjuËoÊl/) ËvÃ¦kjuËoÊl is a-membrane bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some, protist animal and bacterial. cellshe function and significance of vacuoles varies greatly according to the type of cell in which they are present, having much greater prominence in the cells of plants, fungi and certain protists than those of animals and bacteria. In general, the functions of the vacuole include:
Vacuole. A vacuole is a characteristic type of organelle found in plant and fungi cells and many single-cell organisms. The single large vacuole of the cell is surrounded by a membrane, called the tonoplast, and filled with a solution of water, dissolved ions, sugars, amino acids, and other materials.n plants, nicotine and other toxins are stored in vacuoles, since these are as toxic to the plant as they are to the herbivores they are meant to repel. The tart juice of the orange and other citrus fruits is stored in vacuoles, as are the bright pigments that give autumn leaves their color.
