Vacuoles are large compartments within the eukaryotic cells that capture and store food or toxic materials, maintain turgor pressure, and dispose of cellular waste. Both the plant and animal cells have vacuoles. The size of vacuoles in a plant cell is larger in comparison to animal cells. Vacuoles in plant cells store the produced food and waste in the form of resins. The vacuoles also contain water and give structural support to cell to make them turgid.
