Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles-Simply put, vacuoles are storage tanks of the cell. Plant cells have one (1) Large Central Vacuole. Animal cells have a few small vacuoles or none at all. Vacuoles store primarily water, food and waste material.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
