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.
