The Vacuole serves as the stomach per say for that particular cell. It only has one.
No, if you had to answer what controls all functions in cell, it would be the nucleus.
The gullet in Paramecium functions to take in food particles through phagocytosis and transport them to the food vacuole for digestion. It helps with the ingestion of food and plays a critical role in the feeding process of the organism.
A paramecium uses phagocytosis to form a food vacuole. In this process, the paramecium surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane, forming a vacuole containing the food. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.
the water vacuole absorbs and releases water
A membrane-bound vacuole (as in an ameba) where ingested food is digested.
It is a jelly-like container, holding extra supplies that the cell will use in the future(food, oxygen etc.)
I know of only three types: central vacuole - helps maintain plants' shape and structure by storing water (hypotonic). contractile vacuole - pumps water out of protist cells to maintain a suitable concentration. food vacuole - storage for molecules that is a food source for the cell (phagocytosis).

The vacuole is the organelle responsible for storing water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials in plant cells. In animal cells, these functions are carried out by various organelles such as lysosomes, peroxisomes, and vesicles.
The food vacuole in protists, including Stentor, is analogous to the stomach in higher organisms. It functions to ingest, digest, and store food particles within the cell. The food vacuole helps provide nutrients and energy for the protist's survival and growth.
