A membrane-bounded sac in the cytoplasm of some cells used for storage or digestion purposes in different kinds of cells. Different from vacuoles in plant cells , they contain a large vacuole that stores water, proteins, and waste materials.

Here's a real answer. Both animal cells and plant cells have a vacuole. Plants, however, have a vacuole that makes up about 80% of the cell. The reason for this is that the cell uses the vacuole to keep the cell turgid, or very full, so that the high solute concentrations outside of the cell don't suck up all of the water inside of the plant cell. Animal cells do NOT have a cell wall, they are surrounded by a semi-permeable plasma membrane, which is full of phospholipids and transport proteins.
