vacuole
Vacuoles are fluid-filled sacs that lie in the cell's cytoplasm
vacuole
Membrane-bound, fluid-filled sac within the cytoplasm of a cell
vacuole
A small air cell, or globular space, in the interior of organic cells, either containing air, or a pellucid watery liquid, or some special chemical secretions of the cell protoplasm

vacuole
Space within a cell that is empty of cytoplasm, lined with a membrane, and filled with fluid. Especially in protozoans, vacuoles perform functions such as storage, ingestion, digestion, excretion, and expulsion of excess water. The large central vacuoles often found in plant cells enable them to attain a large size without accumulating the bulk that would make metabolism difficult
vacuole
A large membrane-bound vesicle in a cells cytoplasm
vacuole
A cavity inside a cell bounded by a membrane
