what is the function of the central vacuole?

There are many different functions carried out by vacuoles :
- Waste products generated in cells are accumulated in vacuoles. Storage of waste products in vacuoles protects other cell organelles from their harmful effects.
- Maintaining the right pH level also is one of the functions of this cell organelle. An acidic internal pH is maintained by vacuoles.
- Apart from pH maintenance, turgor and hydrostatic pressure is also maintained in the cells by these organelles.
- There are certain substances generated in cells which have the potential to harm/disturb the health of cells. Vacuoles carry out the crucial job of isolating these harmful substances.
- Unwanted materials present in cells are removed by vacuoles.
