Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are the storage sacs of cells. Excess food, water, salts and excretory materials are stored in the vacuoles. Plant cells have a single, big central vacuole while animal cells have numerous, small vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Food molecules, water, and salts are all stored in vacuoles. Starch grains are used to store starch that will be used by the plant as fuel.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-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.
