Functions and significance of vacuole varies according to the type of cells in which they are present. Vacuoles have greater prominence in the cells of plants and fungi than those of animals and bacteria.
The functions of vacuole in general:
1) it isolates material which are harmful to the cell.
2) Maintains internal acidic Ph.
3) Exports unwanted substances from the cell.
4) Maintains internal hydrostatic pressure with in the cell.
5) It allows to support structures such as flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole.

The vacuole is found within a plant cell and animal cell. The plant cells have a large, central vacuole while animal cells have small, multiple vacuoles.
What is the function of a permanent vacuole?
Vacuoles are membrane bounded sacs present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The function of a vacuole is to provide structural support in mature plants , as well as providing storage of food temporarily. A vacuole also serves functions of waste disposal, protection, cell growth etc.
What part of the cell is a storage unit?

Why is the vacuole important to the plant cell?
In plants, the vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes, and absorbs the waste products in the cell. In animal cells, smaller vacuoles are used to transport lipids and proteins out of the cell.
