Question
what is the main function of the vacuole in a plant cell?
to store water, waste, and nutrients, such as sugar, in the cell
to support movement within the cell
to contain the information that the cell uses for growth and activities
to make proteins
The vacuole in a plant cell is like a storage unit. It holds water, which helps keep the cell turgid (firm). It also stores waste products so they don't harm the cell and nutrients like sugar that the cell can use for energy and growth. Movement within the cell is mainly due to the cytoskeleton. The nucleus contains the information (DNA) for growth and activities. Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins.
