$\textbf{Types of vacuoles :-}$

1. Sap vacuoles

2. Contractile vacuole

3. Gas vacuole

4. Food vacuole

1. Tonoplast facilitate the transport of ions against the concentrate gradients into the vacuoles in plant.

2. They may serve as waste deposit bins.

3. It maintain the tuger of plant cell.

4. It also stores food.
