Vacuoles are membrane bound transparent organelle present in both animal and plant cell. They are small and many in animal cells whereas large and one in most of the plant cells. Vacuoles preserve the turgidity of the cell and also store waste material in them.

  • 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.
