What is the function of the large central vacuole in the plant cell?

Answer 1

It helps regulate water content.

Answer 2

The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It gives support to soft structures, such as leaves.When there is an adequate supply of water, the solutes in the vacuole attract water into the vacuole by osmosis, and the cell becomes inflated (turgid). This gives support to soft parts of the plant, like leaves. If you forget to water your pot plants, the leaves droop (wilting); this is because the vacuoles are not as full of water as they could be, and the cells have become flaccid.

Actually if you are talking about the vacuole in a animal cell then is a compartment containing fluid.

Answer 3

In plants this large vacuoles a filled with water. The function and significance of vacuoles varies greatly according to the type of cell in which they are present. They contain waste products, help maintain turgor and remove unwanted things from the cell. They are often called trash bins or waste baskets.

Answer 4

to provide structure for the cell, mainly through "turgor pressure" against the cell wall. this keeps the plant stiff.

Answer 5

A vacuole is a big vesicle it stores food water and waste

Answer 6

stores the waste products of the cell, along with water

Answer 7

It stores the water, food, ions, enzymes, and stuff like that in a plant. :)

Answer 8

The large vacuole with in a plant cell regulates osmosis and is responsible for maintaining the turgor pressure of its cell sap.

Answer 9

It helps regulate water content.
