To determine:
The term vacuole.
Introduction:
A cell is the structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms. It is smallest unit for life. A cell can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane bound cell organelles, that help in functioning of cellular machinery by carrying out biochemical reactions.
Explanation of Solution
Vacuoles are found in both the animal and the plant cells, but vacuoles in plant cells are very large in size. The function of it is to store food and other nutrients that are required by cell to survive. Vacuole also store waste products to protect the cell from contamination.
