Question

What is vacuole in a cell

Answer 1

Vacuoles are membranous sacs found in plant and animal cells. Those in plant cells tend to be larger than those in animal cells. They are like "storage tanks" and they can contain H2O, food, waste, or enzymes.
A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac in a plant cell that stores food, water and metabolic waste.
A vacuole stores food, water and wastes.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

$\huge\textbf{VACUOLE}$ is a membrane bound space found in cytoplasm. It is bound by a single membrane called tonoplast.

In plant cells vacuole is larger than animal cell. In plant cells it occupies space up to 90%.


$\textbf{Types of vacuoles :-}$

1. Sap vacuoles

2. Contractile vacuole

3. Gas vacuole

4. Food vacuole

$\textbf{Function :-}$

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.

→ It contains; water containing organic and inorganic molecules including enzymes.
