Vacuoles in plant cells: the central vacuole
Most mature plant cells have a central vacuole, which often takes up more than 80% of the cell interior. It is surrounded by a membrane, called the tonoplast.
Vacuoles are found in the cytoplasm of most plant cells and some animal cells. Vacuoles are membrane-bound compartments within some eukaryotic cells that can serve a variety of secretory, excretory, and storage functions.

Vacuole
[L. vacuus - empty; L. -ole - diminutive ending]. In a cell, a membrane bound compartment separating material from the cytoplasm.
Vacuoles - Storage Bins to the Cells
Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells.
Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they're specialized lysosomes.
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways.
vacuole -- Membrane-bound fluid-filled space within a cell. In most plant cells, there is a single large vacuole filling most of the cell's volume. Some bacterial cells contain gas vacuoles.

vacuole
[L. vacuus, empty]
A membrane-enclosed sac taking up most of the interior of a mature plant cell and containing a variety of substances important in plant reproduction, growth, and development.

Vacuoles
Vacuoles are membranous sacs similar to, but larger than vesicles.
Vacuoles store water and dissolved substances.
Vacuole: A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that plays roles in intracellular digestion and the release of cellular waste products. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small.

Vacuoles are single-membrane organelles that are essentially part of the outside that is located within the cell. The single membrane is known in plant cells as a tonoplast. Many organisms will use vacuoles as storage areas.
Within these solid plexuses and also within the isolated masses of angioblasts vacuoles appear through liquefaction of the central part of the syncytium into plasma. The lumen of the bloodvessels thus formed is probably intracellular.
Plant cells have a central vacuole which contains water but the vacuole can also store ions, pigments, and other molecules. Plant cells also have a cell wall often composed of cellulose but it can contain other molecules.
