Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles. Animal cells have one or more small vacuoles whereas plant cells have one large central vacuole that can take upto 90% of cell volume. In plant cells, the function of vacuoles is to store water and maintain turgidity of the cell. Vacuoles in animal cells store water, ions and waste.
Detailed explanation-2: -A vacuole is a sac-like cell organelle that stores fluids. It is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. Plant cells contain a large vacuole, called the central vacuole, that functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the central vacuole is to maintain a steady turgor pressure within the cell. Turgor pressure, which only exists in cells with cell walls like those found in bacteria, fungi, and plants, is the pressure that the contents of the cell put on the cell wall.
