Vacuole
saclike structure
For plant cells: one single, large central vacuole
For animal cells: numerous, small vacuoles
-> For plant cells: store materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates; support the structure
-> For single celled organisms, for example, paramecium which contains a contractile vacuole, it controls the amount of water by pushing excess water out of the cell
