Which out of the following is not a function of vacuole?

(a) Storage

(b) Providing turgidity and rigidity to the cell

(c) Waste excretion

(d) Locomotion

Answers (1)

Answer: (d)

Vacuoles are storage sacs for solid or liquid contents. In plant cells, vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Many substances of importance in the life of the plant cell are stored in vacuoles. These include amino acids, sugars, various organic acids and some proteins. In some unicellular organisms, specialized vacuoles also play important roles in expelling excess water and some wastes from the cell. But vacuoles are not involved in locomotion of cells.

Therefore, option (d) is correct.
