Vacuoles are bounded by a single membrane. Young
plant cells often contain many small
vacuoles, but as the
cells mature, these unite to form a large central
vacuole.
Vacuoles serve several functions, such as ...
Full article >>>Vacuoles are membranous sacs similar to, but larger than
vesicles.
Vacuoles store water and dissolved substances.
They are more important in
plant cells. Most of the center of a
plant cell is occupied by a central
vacuole.
Full article >>>Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called
cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between
vacuoles in the same
cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along
concentration gradients into
vacuoles.

cells that can serve a
variety of secretory, excretory, and storage functions.
