What is Vacuolel Presence in plant or animal cells?

vacuoles are present both in plant and animal cells. in plant cells they are large and occupies the centre of the cell. their main function is the storage of various substances required for plants and also gives turgidity to the cell. in animals they are small. sometimes modified to perform specialised functions like contractile vacuoles.
