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: -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: -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.
