•Found in all fungal and plant cells in some animal cells.•Maintaining a balance between biogenesis (production) and degradation in cell structures•The vacuoles maintain fluids, removes wastes, stores ingested food, and maintains cellular structure.

•Main function is structural support•Maintains hydrostatic pressure•Also stores water

•The food vacuoles undergoesfusion with lysomes.•Maintains pH values.

•Acts like a skeleton to maintain turgid conditions

How does the vacuole keep a plant turgid?A.By maintaining hydrostatic pressureB.By removing wasteC.Replacing old cytoplasmD.Helps to absorb sunlight

What is the main function of the central vacuole?

A.Dispose of waste productsB.Regulate pH valueC.Gives structure and support to the cellD.Maintains temperature
