What is the function of the vacole cell?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Vacuoles 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.

Answer 3

The 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.

Answer 4

the function of a valcuole is to store all of the waste from thte plant cell.
