Vacuoles are cellular organelles that are found in all plant and fungal cells. In plant cells, vacuoles tend to store large amounts of water, so they can push outward on cell walls and help keep plants upright. In fungal cells, vacuoles often store materials that are toxic to the cell. According to the above information, how do vacuoles help fungal cells maintain homeostasis?

Answer:

The vacuoles in fungi help the cell to maintain the biochemical condition of its internal cellular environment by moderating the pH of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of the cellular internal environment, in term of solute optimum concentration, pH, ions moderation, and water regulation. The influx of toxic ions such as amino acids and phosphates grouped into the fungal vacoule usually regulate the amount of dissociable hydrogen ions that is available outside, but within the cells. This sustains the hydrogen ion concentration within the fungal cell to such a degree that is needed for physiological process in the cell.
