Food vacuole are used by protozoans as temporary food store in the organism's protoplasm until it is required by the organism. Contractile vacuoles, on the other hand, are used by protozoans as means of expelling excess water and some waste out the protoplasm.

Contractile vacuole found in protists such as Amoeba and unicellular algae carries osmoregulation of the cell. It stores and excretes out the excess water of the cell.
Food vacuole stores the nutrients required for growth and development
