Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of vacuoles?
A
make protein
B
store genetic information
C
storage of salt, H2O, food, and waste
D
transports material outside the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles store nutrients and water on which a cell can rely for its survival. They also store the waste from the cell and prevents the cell from contamination. Hence, it is an important organelle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole stores nutrients in cells, and its contents determine the color of cells and tissues and the turgor pressure of the cell. Tonoplast proteins are involved in intracellular ion transport, pH regulation, and vacuole transport pathways.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant 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. Q.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are like storage bubbles which are found mostly in plant cells. They occupy most of the portion of plant cells. These are used for storage of food, water, amino acids, sugars, organic acids and some proteins. They also store toxic metabolic by-products or end products of plant cells.
