Question

which type of vacuoles are found in animal and plant cells

Answer 1

The major difference between the plan and animal vacuoles is the number of vacuoles functioning in the cell. This is the animal cell that has one or more vacuoles but the plant cell contains only one vacuole. The size of the animal vacuoles is relatively smaller as compared to the plant cell vacuole. The one vacuole in the plant cells is larger in size and is capable of taking up to 90% of cell volume in some cases. Another big dissimilarity of both the vacuoles is the function. The main purpose of the vacuole observed in the plant cells is to store the water and keep up the turgidity of the cell that is necessary to keep the cell in standing position. The Vacuoles present in the animal cells contains some other things consisting of the water, ions and waste.

Answer 2

In animal cells, they are found in small size

In plant cell, vacuole increases in size as the cell enlarges
