Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of the vacuole and central vacuole?
A
To protect the cell
B
To control what enters and exists the cell
C
To produce proteins
D
To store water, wastes, and nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They help in the storage and disposal of various substances. They can store food or other nutrients required by a cell to survive. They also store waste products and prevent the entire cell from contamination. The vacuoles in plant cells are larger than those in the animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -A vacuole is a sac-like cell organelle that stores fluids. It is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. Plant cells contain a large vacuole, called the central vacuole, that functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles are the membrane-bound cell organelles present in the cytoplasm and filled with a watery fluid containing various substances. Plant cells have a single and a large central vacuole while Animal cells either lack vacuoles or if present are minute and less in number.
