Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Do Cells Store Nutrients? A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that contains water and other substances. You can think of it as the refrigerator of the cell because it stores salts, carbohydrates, sugars, and water. Look at the image above and find the vacuoles in the plant and animal cells (I highlighted them).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Basic storage function of vacuoles As the largest organelle in mature plant cells, the vacuole exhibits complex and diverse functions. First, as a closed compartment, vacuoles can store free amino acids, sugars, and ions. They can also transport key molecules through specific channel proteins on the tonoplast.
Detailed explanation-5: -Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell. Containing waste products. Containing water in plant cells. Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell. Maintaining an acidic internal pH. Containing small molecules. More items
