A vacoule is the excretory organelle of the cell. It regulates the turgidity of the cell by regulating the amount of water inside the cell. The vacoule always has some amount of water present inside it. If the cell contains more water, it absorbs the water and allows it to diffuse out of the cell. If the cell contains less water, the water from the vacoule will re-enter the cell to maintain its turgidity.

Vacuoles assist in homeostasis by regulating the storage and release of substances like ions, water, and nutrients that are essential for maintaining internal balance within the cell. They can help maintain proper osmotic pressure by absorbing or releasing water as needed, and also play a role in disposing of waste products in the cell. Additionally, vacuoles can store molecules that may be toxic at high levels, helping to protect the cell from damage.
To create a model of a vacuole, you can use materials like a small plastic bag or balloon filled with colored water or beads to represent the contents of the vacuole. You can also attach smaller balloons or beads inside the larger one to represent different substances stored in the vacuole. Additionally, you can label the different parts of the model to showcase the structure and function of a vacuole.
A rabbit is able to maintain homeostasis with its fur coat and the ability to shiver.

Vacuoles is your answer. In plant cells Vacuoles are very large in animal cells vacuoles are much much smaller usually not even labelled in diagrams.
The special vesicles containing enzymes are called Lysosomes.
