⭐The waste products generated in cells are accumulated in vacuoles. Thus, vacuoles protect other organelles of the cell from harmful effects of wastes.
⭐Maintaining the right pH level is one of the important functions of vacuoles. The vacuoles help in maintaining an acidic internal pH in cells. Apart from maintaining the cell pH, vacuoles also maintain the turgor and hydrostatic pressure.
⭐The toxins produced in cells have the potential to harm/disturb the health of cells. Vacuoles do the crucial job of isolating them from the rest of the cell components.
⭐Vacuoles play an important role in the process of autophagy - a process in which degradation of cell components takes place. Autophagy is a catabolic process in which components that are no longer needed by the cell undergo degradation. During the process of autophagy, vacuoles maintain a balance between biogenesis and degradation of substances in cells.
⭐Vacuoles are known to protect cells from certain bacteria. Destroying the bacteria that attack cells is an important function performed by vacuoles.
⭐The food vacuoles found in amoeba perform the important job of digestion.

In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When aplant 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.
