NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Vacuoles store nutrients and water on which a cell can rely for its survival. They also store the waste from the cell and prevents the cell from contamination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Functions of vacuole:-Vacuoles maintain the shape of the cell by creating turgor pressure (internal hydrostatic pressure).-Vacuoles store pigments that provide color to plant structures such as petals.-Vacuoles aid in storage of water, food and other substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles help to provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Vacuoles act as a store house for water-soluble pigments and waste products. It also stores useful minerals and salts. Sap vacuole maintains proper osmotic pressure in the cell for its turgidity and absorption of water.

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.
