  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    it basicly  holds waste products


  2. In general, vacuole functions are:

    Removing unwanted structural debris

    Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell

    Containing waste products

    Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell

    Maintaining an acidic internal pH

    Containing small molecules

    Exporting unwanted substances from the cell

    Vacuoles also play a major role in autophagy, maintaining a balance between biogenesis (production) and degradation (or turnover), of many substances and cell structures. Vacuoles store food and other materials needed by a cell. They also aid in destruction of invading bacteria or of misfolded proteins that have begun to build up within the cell. The vacuole is a major part in the plant cell.
