DOH data also show that asthma death rates increased with age in New York. From 2009 through 2011, children aged up to 14 had an asthma death rate of 3.5 per million residents, while the rate among New Yorkers 65 years of age and older was 36.9 deaths per million residents.
As stated earlier, the primary function of the central vacuole in plant cells is to maintain the turgor of the cell. Turgor is the pressure exerted on the cell wall by the contents of the cell.The central vacuole determines the amount of turgor based on it water content as a result of osmotic pressure.n plant cells, however, there is generally a large single central vacuole. Comprising approximately 90% of an mature plant cell, the central vacuole provides structure and support to the cell by maintaining turgor pressure, which is essentially fluid pressure that keeps the cells rigid.
Plant Cell Vacuoles Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.
