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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A vacuole is an organelle found in plant cells that houses food, water, and waste.
