The central vacuole regulates the "tugor pressure" within the cell of the plant; this is responsible (together with the cell wall) for maintaining the shape and structure of many plants (mainly herbaceous).
If the vacuole were removed, punctured or absent there would be no rigidity to the cell.
The central vacuole is also assists with osmosis and homeostasis within the cell, damage to the vacuole will result in the cell dying.

∙ 12y agovacuoles in plant cells regulate the pressure placed on the cell wall, stiffening the plant by applying this pressure. This is why plants are able to stand. If the vacuoles of plant cells were smaller, there would be less pressure placed against the cell wall, resulting in the plants being unable to support themselves.

What is the RNA of a plant cell?
it is in the vacuoles
What cell has vacuoles?
Plant cells have vacuoles. And only plant cells, animal cells have no need for them and if they do have them, they are very, very small.
How many vacuoles does a young plant has?
a plant cell may have one large and one small vacuoles.
What is the function of the vacuoles in the plant cell?
The vacuole in a plant cell is the same as in an animal cell, it is used as storage.
Does plant cell has a vacuoles?
only plant cells have vacuoles
How are plant vacuoles from animal vacuoles?
Plant cell vacuole is larger then animal cell vacuole
How do the vacuoles in animal cell differ from those in plant cells?
Vacuoles in a plant cell are bigger than animal cell vacuoles. In fact, some animal cells don't even have vacuoles.
Does animal cell have bigger vacuoles than plant cells?
no it dosent, an animal cell has multiple small vacuoles, wile a plant cell has one or two big vacuoles.
How many vacuoles are found in a cell?
The number of vacuoles in a cell is not definite. But there are a few & small vacuoles in an animal cell and many & big vacuoles in plant cells.
Where are vacuoles located in the animal cell?
Vacuoles, in the animal cells, are located in the cytoplasm of the cell. There are numerous vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the animal cell. In the plant cells, there is only one large vacuole in the plant cell. It is situated near the nucleus of the plant cell.
What is the physical difference between vacuoles in a plant cell and vacuoles in an animal cell?
The vacuole of a plant cell is typically larger than the vacuole of an animal cell.
What is the RNA of a plant cell?
it is in the vacuoles
Is there vacuoles are present in animal cell?
Vacuoles are present in animal cell but they are much smaller than in plant cell.
What cell has vacuoles?
Plant cells have vacuoles. And only plant cells, animal cells have no need for them and if they do have them, they are very, very small.
Are vacuoles in a plant or animal cell?
Plant Cell It sits in front of the nucleus.
How many vacuoles does a young plant has?
a plant cell may have one large and one small vacuoles.
