Vacuoles primarily serve functions related to storage, waste disposal, and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells, rather than locomotion. In some unicellular organisms, certain types of vacuoles can assist in movement by regulating buoyancy or by expelling water, contributing indirectly to locomotion. However, in most organisms, locomotion is primarily facilitated by structures like cilia, flagella, or muscular systems rather than vacuoles.
