GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell. It also pushes the contents of the cell toward the cell membrane, which allows the plant cells to take in more light energy for making food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -However vacuoles are generally said to store water because they generally make up 30% to 80%2 of the plant cell. Thus the cytoplasm, vacuole and all other organelles contain water and contribute to the cells water potential and turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles store water Vacuoles in plant cells are large because their main function is to store water for the plant. The central vacuole in a plant cell can take up to 30 to 90 percent of the area of the cell.
