Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole stores salts, minerals, pigments and proteins within the cell. The solution that fills a vacuole is known as the cell sap. The vacuole is also filled with protons from the cytosol that helps in maintaining an acidic environment within the cell. A large number of lipids are also stored within the vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells have vesicles called vacuoles that act as temporary storage for materials in the cytoplasm. Vacuoles can store food and other material needed by a cell. They can also store wastes. Plant cells normally have one large vacuole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins, fats and carbohydrates can be safely stored in the vacuoles of storage cells in seeds for many years for utilisation when germination takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. These cell organelles 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.
