What is the process of a vacuole?

The vacuoles are considered as storage bins of cells.
Waste products generated in cells are accumulated in
vacuoles.
Maintaining pH is also one of the functions of vacuoles. An
acidic internal pH is maintained by vacuoles.
Apart from pH maintenance, turgor and hydrostatic pressure is
also maintained in the cells by vacuoles.
There are certain substances generated in cells which can harm
its health. Vacuoles do the job of isolating these harmful
substances.
Unwanted materials present in cells are removed by
vacuoles.
Vacuoles play an important role in the process called
autophagy. A balance between biogenesis and degradation of
substances in cells is maintained during this process by the
vacuoles.
Vacuoles protect cells from certain bacteria. Destroying the
invading bacteria is an important job of vacuoles.
The vacuole function in animal cells is not much important if
compared to that in plant cells. However, few of these functions
are presented in the subsequent paragraphs.
