Question

Name and explain different types of vacuoles

Answer 1

I know of only three types: central vacuole - helps maintain plants' shape and structure by storing water (hypotonic). contractile vacuole - pumps water out of protist cells to maintain a suitable concentration. food vacuole - storage for molecules that is a food source for the cell (phagocytosis).
What are the functions of the vacuole?
Vacuoles are the "storage system" of the cell. They storenutrients, waste, enzymes, and water. They appear as a large,empty, colorless gap. Think of vacuoles as large warehouses thatstore toxic wastes, or other useful, excessive products

Answer 2

Answer:contractile vacuole, in amoeba helps in excretion & osmo-regulation

Food vacuole,in protists like amoeba,paramoecium, euglena are formed by engulfing food particles

Central vacuole,in plants helps in holding water for maintaining their shape
