Vacuoles in plants are used mainly to keep the cells turgid by using water pressure to prevent the cells walls from collapsing.

They also contain some sugars and proteins.

Vacuoles are present as fewer and smaller structures in animal cells.

What function does a tonoplast have?

The tonoplast is a membrane in plant cells that separates the vacuole from the cytoplasm. It helps regulate the transport of ions, nutrients, and waste products in and out of the vacuole, maintaining the balance of solutes within the cell. Additionally, the tonoplast provides structural support to the vacuole and contributes to the overall cell turgor pressure.
