In a plant cell a vacuole stores water. The membrane allows the passage of water into and out of the cell. The vacuole gets smaller if there is not enough water in the environment because its water is being used in the cell to keep the cell functioning normally.

What functions do vacuoles perform in plant and fungal cells?
Store water
What is a secretory vacuole?
A secretory vacuole is an organelle that is found in fungal and plant cells. Secretory vacuoles perform many different functions.
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
How do vacuoles in animal and plant cells relate to the function of vacuoles?
Vacuoles are used for temporarily storing materials and are generally larger in plant cells. Therefore they are able to hold more materials such as water and food for the plant cells. The vacuoles in plants control wilting.
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.
What functions do vacuoles perform in plant and fungal cells?
Store water
Do animals contain central vacuoles?
As far as I know, they don't. some animal cells do have vacuoles, but they are not as big as those in plant cells. also, an animal cell can have many small vacuoles. some animal cells do not have vacuoles, because the functions that vacuoles carry out in a plant cell are performed by the lysosomes of the animal cell.
Which plant organelles functions as storage areas for water sugars salts pigments and toxic substances?
Vacuoles
Does plant cell has a vacuoles?
only plant cells have vacuoles
Do animal and plant cells have vacuoles?
they both have vacuoles. plant cells have bigger vacuoles then animal cells
Is a central vacuole?
Vacuoles are found in the cytoplasm of most plant cells and some animal cells. Vacuoles are membrane-bound compartments 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. Its located in the middle of the cell.
What cells have vacuoles?
Plant cells
What is a secretory vacuole?
A secretory vacuole is an organelle that is found in fungal and plant cells. Secretory vacuoles perform many different functions.
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
How are plant vacuoles from animal vacuoles?
Plant cell vacuole is larger then animal cell vacuole
What do in vacuoles do plant cells?
Vacuoles store food and junk
What is the significance of vacuole in animal cell?
Vacuoles have a functions and/or importances. 1. Vacuoles remove dangerous structural debris. 2. Vacuoles hold the waste/bad things. 3. Vacuoles export unwanted substances. So, for the main part they deal with unwanted substances.
