a) Vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell.
b) Amino acids, sugars, various organic acids and some proteins are stored in vacuoles.
c) In some unicellular organisms, specialised vacuoles helps in expelling excess water and some wastes from the cell.

∙ 13y agoVacuoles do not perform any single function . They perform many.
Now read below.
Vacuoles are membrane-bounded compartments within some eukaryotic cells that can serve a variety of secretory, excretory, and storage functions.
Vacuoles and their contents are considered to be distinct from the cytoplasm, and are classified as ergastic according to some authors.
Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most plant cells.
In general, vacuole functions include:
1) Removing unwanted structural debris
2) Isolating materials that might be harmful to the cell
3) Containment of waste products
4) Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell
5) Maintaining an acidic internal pH
6) Containing small molecules
7)Exporting unwanted substances from the cell.
8)Enabling the cell to change shape.
Vacuoles also play a major role in autophagy, maintaining a balance between biogenesis (production) and degradation (or turnover), of many substances and cell structures.
They also aid in destruction of invading bacteria or of misfolded proteins that have begun to build up within the cell.

∙ 10y agoThe main function of a vacoule is to store various substances. For example, waste that the cell produces could be temporarily stored in the cell until it can be removed. Also, nutrients and water is also contained within the vacoule.
In plants, with water within the vacoule, it allows the cell to stay turgid.

How do you spell vacole?
The correct spelling is "vacuole" (an organelle within a cell).
What cell structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?
chloroplast, cell wall and vacole
What are the different parts that make up the cell?
Animal cell - Nucleus - Cytoplasm - Cell Membrane Plant Cell - All of the above - Cell wall -Typically chloroplasts (Green plants only) - Vacole They are the two basic forms of life, hope that helped
What part of plant cells relate to neutral red stain?
vacole
How a cell performs its function?
a cell permorms its function very uniquely cell helps in division and cell cycle too!
How do you spell vacole?
The correct spelling is "vacuole" (an organelle within a cell).
What component is in an animal cell and not in a plant cell?
Cell wall and Chloraphast(i doubt that's spelt right) The Vacole is in both but is much larger in the plant cell :D
What is the job of a vacuole?
The job of a vacuole in a cell is to store food and water,The vacole stores food and energy.
What cell structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?
chloroplast, cell wall and vacole
What is the cells storage?
The Vacole

Which organisms are eukaryotic?
All organisms under the kingdoms animalia, plantae, fungi, and the different protist kingdoms.
Balloon like cell organelle in the cytoplasm that can store food water and other substances?
it's the vacole. we just studdied this is school.
What is function of the cell membrance?
in a cell what is the function of the cell membrance
How are plant cells alike animal cells?
They both have a Nucles, Cell Membrane, Mitochdrion, and Vacole, also scientist hav pruven that they both have lysosomes, well at least some plant cells do
What part of plant cells relate to neutral red stain?
vacole
In a cell what function of the cell membrane?
The function of the cell membrane is to control what enters and leaves the cell.
