In animal cells the main function of vacuoles is to store nutrients ,ions and water. Vacuoles plays an important role in endocytosis and exocytosis .They store the waste material (exocytosis)or food (endocytosis) and transport it inside the cell. In some human cells, vacuoles aid in exocytosis and endocytosis. read more
The types are: 1. Sap Vacuoles 2. Contractile Vacuoles 3. Food Vacuoles 4. Air Vacuoles. Type # 1. Sap Vacuoles: They are fluid filled vacuoles or vesicles which are separated from the cytoplasm by a selectively permeable membrane called tonoplast. It has a number of transport systems for the passage of different substances. A number of small sap vacuoles occur in animal cells and young plant cells. read more
A vacuole is usually found in all plant and fungal cells, as well as some cells of protists, animals, and bacteria. These membrane-bound structures are basically just enclosed compartments thatare filled with both inorganic and organic molecules, along with water to support the organelle. read more
No, vacuoles do not exist in human or animal cells. They are onlypresent in plant cells, much like the cell wall. read more
