GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

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: -Vacuole: A membrane-bound organelle that helps a cell retain its shape and store things like water, food, and waste. Note: The outer wall of plant cells is called the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
