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 sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways.
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.
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
Vacuoles are membranous sacs similar to, but larger than vesicles.
Vacuoles store water and dissolved substances.
Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they're specialized lysosomes.

The Plant Cell
Plant cells are eukaryotic and have many of the structures found in animal cells. Link to pages describing these.
Vacuoles
Membrane surrounded "bags" that contain water and storage materials in plants.
Peroxisomes or Microbodies
Produce and degrade hydrogen peroxide, a toxic compound that can be produced during metabolism.
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.
In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small. Vacuoles tend to be large in plant cells and play several roles: storing nutrients and waste products, helping increase cell size during growth, and even acting much like lysosomes of animal cells.
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.
coenocytic -- Condition in which an organism consists of filamentous cells with large central vacuoles, and whose nuclei are not partitioned into separate compartments.
granulocytes White blood cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) bearing "granules" (vacuoles) in their cytoplasm that stain deeply.
These substances are organized to constitute the living organelles, as endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, chloroplasts, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, nucleolus, nucleus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and centrosomes.
Telophase - phase of mitosis in which the chromosome pairs have separated and reached opposite poles of the cell as the spindle begins to disintegrate, the nuclear membrane reappears, and the cytoplasm begins to divide
