Vacuole
Vacuoles are found in the cytoplasm of most plant cells. Vacuoles are
membrane-bound compartments within some
eukaryotic cells that can serve a variety of secretory, excretory, and storage functions. Vacuoles and their contents are considered to be distinct from the
cytoplasm, and are classified as
ergastic according to some authors. Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most
plant cells.
