Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles and lysosomes have similar functions Vacuoles in plant cells are in some respects the equivalent of lysosomes in animal cells. The environment inside a vacuole is slightly acid (pH about 5.0) whilst for the rest of the cytosol it is slightly alkaline (about pH 7.2).
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells are like small balloons surrounded by a strong cell wall. Their internal pressure can be higher than the pressure in a car tire. It is this pressure that gives non-woody plant tissue its shape.
Detailed explanation-3: -The vacuole is like a cupboard because you store things in it.
