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.

Vacuoles store enzymes, food, and other materials that the cell needs. With though the vacuole storage, the extras would have no where to go!

Describe the microscopic and functional organization of a cell?

The nucleus of a cell is the power source or brain, every cell has one there are two types of cells- an animal cell and a plant cell: An animal cell has a cell membrane, a cytoplasm which is the covering of the cell, stored food, a mitachondria used for breathing and a small vacuole which contains water orother substances A plant cell has a cell wall which surrounds it and gives it shape and support, a cytoplasm, large vacuole, choroplasts which make and store food, a mitachondria


What does a vacoule do?

Vacuoles can be found in plant cells, although the plant cell only has one vacuole. A vacuole stores water, food, and enzymes, and collects unwanted waste. A vacuole is a sac used to store water for the cell. Plant cells have a large vacuole. Animal cells have small vacuoles, if they have one at all. A vacuole maintains the acidic internal pH and also the turgor and hydrostatic pressure in the cells. They also isolate the harmful substances produced by cells which can harm its health. Vacuoles also protect cells from certain bacteria and destroy any invading bacteria.


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.
