I have been curious about this. Can you use either a presta tube or a Schraeder and vice versa? Does that just depend on the opening of your wheel or what?

No, you can't. You can't use a presta in a schraeder because the tube will tear around the sharp hole. You can't use a schraeder in a presta because the stem won't fit through the hole.
