Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -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-4: -Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant. They are closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell. In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles can also serve as storage compartments for nutrients and metabolites. For instance, proteins are stored in the vacuoles of seeds, and rubber and opium are metabolites that are stored in plant vacuoles.
