The main role of the central vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall. Proteins found in the tonoplast (aquaporins) control the flow of water into and out of the vacuole through active transport, pumping potassium (K+) ions into and out of the vacuolar interior. Due to osmosis, water will diffuse into the vacuole, placing pressure on the cell wall. If water loss leads to a significant decline in turgor pressure, the cell will plasmolyse.

What organelle helps remove excess water?

The vacuole is the organelle responsible for removing excess water from the cell. It acts as a storage unit for water and other substances, allowing the cell to maintain proper water balance. When there is excess water, the vacuole will absorb it to prevent the cell from bursting.

How does a vacuole assist in homeostasis?

A vacoule is the excretory organelle of the cell. It regulates the turgidity of the cell by regulating the amount of water inside the cell. The vacoule always has some amount of water present inside it. If the cell contains more water, it absorbs the water and allows it to diffuse out of the cell. If the cell contains less water, the water from the vacoule will re-enter the cell to maintain its turgidity.


What plant cell organelles store water and helps support the cell?

vacoule is the plant cell organelle that stores water and helps to support the cell . Hence it is also known as ' storage bubble'. It also stroes food and a variety of nutrients that need for plant to survive.
