NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. 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-2: -In the absence of enough water, however, central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced, compromising the plant’s rigidity so that wilting takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vacuole helps a plant recover from wilting because it lls up with water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuolar proteins are synthesized and processed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and transferred to vacuoles through various routes. They can transfer indirectly via the Golgi apparatus to a lytic vacuole. They can also transfer directly from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to a protein storage vacuole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants wilt if they cannot take up sufficient water. In such a scenario, their extracellular surrounding becomes hypertonic, causing water to leave the interior via osmosis. As a result, vacuoles decrease in size and the plasma membrane detaches from the cell wall causing the cytoplasm to constrict.
