Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. Eventually, those waste products would be sent out of the cell.
The structure of vacuoles is fairly simple. There is a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid. In that fluid are nutrients or waste products. Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant. They are closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell.
In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. Don't forge that vacuoles can also hold the plant waste products. Those waste products are slowly broken into small pieces that cannot hurt the cell. Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might need, just like a backpack.

Hello mate.
VACUOLE:
vacuoles are discovered by Spallanzani. Vacuoles are generally absent in animal cells and meriscemmic cells in plants. Ccll of pcrmanL'nt tissue in plants have well dcvcloped vacuolcs.
Vacuoles are surrounded by an unit membrane called tonoplasm.
inside vacuole there is a nonliving fluid called cell sap.
Cell sap contains water. salts. sugars. organic acids.waste materials of metabolism.
Sometimes call sap have cenain water soluble pigments like anthocyanin (blue or violet or yellow) etc. Beta cyanin in beet
Functions of vacuole =>
(i) Storehouse of nutrients.
(ii) Removes waste materials from cymplasm.
(iii) Solutes is cell sap regulates osmotic relations of plant cell.
(iv) Pigments of cell sap provide different colouration to petals.
(v) Mature plant cell store water in vocuole.
