Answer: storage and transportation of nutients, ions, water and waste.
Explanation: An animal cell contains several small vacuoles placed along the cellular space (plant cells only have one big vacuole). The function of the vacuoles is to store the food (endocytosis) and waste material (exocytosis) and transport it through the cell.
The function of the Vacuole is that it stores food and nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
