How do plant cells use their large central vacuole? These structures control what materials move into or out of cells. These carbohydrate storages can be mobilized to supply energy. These structures allow communication between adjacent cells. These water storage structures help to maintain cell rigidity.

A vacuole is used for the temporary storage of water, waste products, food, and cellular material. Plants take in large amounts of water and need a place to store it. Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than animal cells to store the water and other materials needed by the cell.

Dhanya K.
A vacuole is a space or cavity within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid. They are a kind of storage sacs that are very large in size in plant cells compared to those in animal cells. Which among the following is not a function of the vacuole? 1) They help to store the toxic metabolic by-products of the plant cell. 2) They provide turgidity and rigidity to the plant cell. 3) They help to maintain the osmotic pressure in the cell. 4) They help the plant in its growth by the process of cell division.
