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. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles are storage organelles for water and dissolved minerals. Plant cells have a single large central vacuole while animal cells have numerous small vacuoles if any. The central vacuole of the plant cells helps it to maintain its volume and structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The part of a cell that is used as storage space is the vacuole. Vacuoles are found in eukaryotic cells and are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells. In a plant cell, the vacuole is a large central space that stores water, as well as other important molecules.
