Detailed explanation-1: -Cells often store materials such as water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates in sac-like structures known as vacuoles. Many plant cells have a single large, central vacuole filled with liquid. Pressure in these central vacuoles makes it possible for plants to support heavy structures such as leaves and flowers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles and Vesicles cells contain large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures called vacuoles that store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-3: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that contains water and other substances. You can think of it as the refrigerator of the cell because it stores salts, carbohydrates, sugars, and water. Look at the image above and find the vacuoles in the plant and animal cells (I highlighted them).
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement about vacuoles is true? Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water. In animal cells, vacuoles are much smaller.
