Detailed explanation-1: -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. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes. That is to say that their function is really to handle waste products, and by handle, mean take in waste products and also get rid of waste products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells also have membrane-bound spaces called vacuoles for the temporary storage. A vacuole can store water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials.
