NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -First, as a closed compartment, vacuoles can store free amino acids, sugars, and ions. They can also transport key molecules through specific channel proteins on the tonoplast.

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: -Because of its large volume, it is involved in storing many inorganic and organic molecules, and in so doing, functions in homeostasis. The vacuole is also important in storing the molecules necessary for plant defense and the osmoticum necessary for generating turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are called the storage sacs of the cell as it stores the solid as well as the liquid materials of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
