GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -b) Vacuole: a container for liquids, food, waste, or other materials. Large in plants, smaller or absent in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. Don’t forge that vacuoles can also hold the plant waste products. Those waste products are slowly broken into small pieces that cannot hurt the cell. Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might need, just like a backpack.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are storage organelles for water and dissolved minerals. Plant cells have a single large central vacuole while animal cells have numerous small vacuoles if any. The central vacuole of the plant cells helps it to maintain its volume and structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
