Ions that are absorbed into tissues are sequestered in cell vacuoles. (11 words)
For example, when the pH in the cells environment drops, the H + ions surging into the cytosol can be transferred to a vacuole in order to keep the cytosol's pH constant. citation In animals, vacuoles serve in exocytosis and endocytosis processes. (42 words)

Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these.
Vacuoles can also increase the size of the cell, which elongates as water is added, and they control the turgor pressure (the osmotic pressure that keeps the cell wall from caving in).
Vacuoles of plant cells act as storage compartments for the nutrients and waste of a cell.
