Q.State two functions of the large central vacuole found in a mature plant cell.

[!TLDR]

The vacuole maintains turgor pressure via osmotic water uptake, and stores pigments/waste products in the cell sap. …

The large central vacuole of a mature plant cell, bound by the tonoplast and filled with cell sap (water, amino acids, sugars, organic acids and some proteins), performs two principal functions: it draws water into the cell osmotically, generating the internal turgor pressure that keeps non-woody plant tissues firm and upright, and it serves as a storage site for various pigments, such as the anthocyanins responsible for many flower and fruit colours, as well as for waste …

Recall the two functions explicitly described for the plant cell's central vacuo …
