Why Vacuole Is Transparent?

In protists, vacuoles have the additional function of storing food which has been absorbed by the organism and assisting in the digestive and waste management process for the cell. In animal cells, vacuoles perform mostly subordinate roles, assisting in larger processes of exocytosis and endocytosis.

Is the vacuole clear?

In plants, vacuoles are very prominent, and when seen under a microscope they appear as large, round, clear structures. Vacuoles are filled with a watery fluid called cell sap (made up of water, salts, and sugar). In some plant cells, a vacuole may occupy as much as 90 percent of a cell's total volume.

Is vacuole fully permeable?
