Question

Why do plant cell posses large sized vacuole?

Answer 1

Vacuole is a membrane-enclosed fluid-filled sac found in plant cells that occupies a major part of the cell volume. It gives rigidity to the cell and hence to the plant by using water to develop a pressure called hydrostatic pressure. It stores nutrient and non-nutrient such as pigments and mineral ions. It also stores the cellular metabolic waste.
