GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -Plant cells contain vacuoles. In addition to storing wastes and water, the vacuole also helps to support the cell. This is because the liquid inside the vacuole exerts an outward pressure on the cell, much like the water inside a water balloon.
