GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell. It occupies about 80% of the plant cell volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles. First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water.

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: -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.
