Which of the following isnt a finction of vacuole?
(1)Storage
(2)Providing turgidity amd rigidity to the cell
(3)Waste Excretiom
(4)Locomotion​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathfrak{Option\; B}$ $\mathrm{Providing\ turgidity\ and\ rigidity\ to\ the\ cell}$

Explanation:

Vacuoles may be small or large. These are filled with liquid or sap and are membrane-bound organells. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller in size and lesser in number than in plant cells. In some plant cells, only one large vacuole is present. The major portion of a plant cell is occupied by vacuoles.

Either may be contractile or non-contractile. When the pressure of the contents of a contrctile vacuole increases, it contracts amd releasesits comtents. In unicellular organisms like Amoeba, food particles are present inside food vacuole. But are not associated with locomotion.

The main functions of vacuoles are

◆In animals, vacuoles are often associated with the maintainance of water balance

◆They work in osmoregulation, i.e., the maintenance of internal pressure.

◆They store various substances imcluding waste products.
