Vacuoles are membranous sacs found in plant and animal cells. Those in plant cells tend to be larger than those in animal cells. They are like "storage tanks" and they can contain water, food, waste, or enzymes.

A vacuole is a bubble like structure found in both plant and animal cells. It is found within the cytoplasm, surrounded by a cell membrane, and contains fluids that are important to the cell.
