- 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.
- Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution.

➡️Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways.
➡️ In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
There are three types of vacuole:-
- Central Vacuole: - helps maintain plants' shape and structure by storing water .
- Contractile Vacuole: - pumps water out of protist cells to maintain a suitable concentration.
- Food Vacuole - storage for molecules that is a food source for the cell (phagocytosis).
