Detailed explanation-1: -Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant. They are closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell. In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells have high concentrations of molecules dissolved in their cytoplasm, which causes water to come into the cell under normal conditions and makes the cell’s central vacuole swell and press against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells contain a large vacuole, called the central vacuole, that functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules. In plant cells, the central vacuole serves a wide range of functions, both structural and physiological.

Detailed explanation-4: -First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water. In animal cells, vacuoles are much smaller.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.
