A space within a cell that is empty of cytoplasm, lined with a membrane, and filled with fluid. Especially in protozoa, vacuoles are cytoplasmic organs (organelles), performing functions such as storage, ingestion, digestion, excretion, and expulsion of excess water.
The function and significance of vacuoles vary greatly according to the type of cell in which they are present.
In general, the functions of the vacuole include- Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell. Containing waste products.
Containing water in plant cells. Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell. Maintaining an acidic internal pH.
Allows plants to support structures such as leaves and flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole etc.
