Question

Give reasons.
Vacuoles of animal cells are much smaller in comparison to those present in plant cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The plant has the largest vacuole than animal cells because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to help the plant remain upright. ... In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller but more in number because they do not require vacuole for rigidity or pressure.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The mechanical stability provided by the combination of a cell wall and turgor pressure allows plant cells to grow to a relatively large size, so they generally occupy a much larger volume than animal cells.
