Eukaryotic (ANIMAL AND PLANTS) cells have a vacuole. Plant cells have a very large vacuole and animal cells have relatively small ones.
Vacuole Functions:
- Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell
- Containing waste products
- Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell
- Maintaining an acidic internal pH
- Containing small molecules
- Exporting unwanted substances from the cell
- Allows plants to support structures such as leaves and flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole
