 Ans. Functions of vacuoles are:

  •  Keeping waste products contained
  •  Water storage in plant cells
  •  Keeping the cell’s internal water pressure, or turgor, constant.
  •  Maintaining an internally acidic pH
  •  It’s made up of tiny molecules.
  •  Unwanted chemicals are expelled from the cell.
  •  Because of the central vacuole pressure, plants can maintain structures like leaves and flowers.
  •  By growing in size, the germinating plants or their components (their leaves) can develop swiftly while consuming relatively little water.
  • Protein bodies, which are modified vacuoles, retain stored proteins required for germination in seeds.
