How does the large central vacuole in plants help maintain homeostasis?

Maintaining acidity- In case the pH in the environment drops a lot (becomes very acidic), there is a flux of H ions from the cell's cytoplasm into the cell's vacuole thereby increasing acidity to required level and thus maintaining the specific pH in the cells internal environment as well.

Turgidity- Vacuoles regulate the turgidity by regulating the amount of water inside the cell. 
cell has excessive water: vacuole absorbs the water and then diffuses it out of the cell.
cell lacks water: water from the vacuole gets passed back into the cell thereby maintaining turgidity.

Answer:
Most zoologists believe that echinoderms share a common ancestry with hemichordates and chordates because of:
1. The deuterostome characteristics that they share (see ﬁgure 1),
2. An anus that develops in the region of the blastopore.
3. A coelom that forms from outpockets of the embryonic gut tract (vertebrate chordates are an exception).
4. And radial, indeterminate cleavage.

The fungus is demonstrating a PARASITIC MODE OF NUTRITION.
A parasite is a living organism which lives on another living organism and derived its nourishment from it. The infected living organism is called host and a parasitic relationship is damaging to the host, because it does not derived any benefit at all from the relationship rather it may end up loosing its life.
