GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles-Storage Bins to the Cells Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are like storage bubbles which are found mostly in plant cells. They occupy most of the portion of plant cells. These are used for storage of food, water, amino acids, sugars, organic acids and some proteins. They also store toxic metabolic by-products or end products of plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Especially in protozoa (single-celled eukaryotic organisms), vacuoles are essential cytoplasmic organs (organelles), performing functions such as storage, ingestion, digestion, excretion, and expulsion of excess water.
