Detailed explanation-1: -Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -How Do Cells Store Nutrients? A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that contains water and other substances. You can think of it as the refrigerator of the cell because it stores salts, carbohydrates, sugars, and water. Look at the image above and find the vacuoles in the plant and animal cells (I highlighted them).

Detailed explanation-3: -Within plant cells, there is a large vacuole called the central vacuole. A cell’s vacuole is a spherical filled with liquid and molecules. In a plant cell, the central vacuole stores water and regulates turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle found in some protist, animal, and bacterial cells as well as plant and fungal cells. Vacuoles transport and store nutrients.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles-Storage Bins to the Cells Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. Eventually, those waste products would be sent out of the cell.
