Detailed explanation-1: -The plant cell has many small vacuoles, but the animal cell has one large vacuole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are present in both plant and animal cells. They are small sized, many and temporary in animal cells while plant cells have a single, large, central and permanent vacuole which may occupy 50-90% of the cell volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole that typically occupies more than 30% of the cell’s volume, and that can occupy as much as 80% of the volume for certain cell types and conditions. Strands of cytoplasm often run through the vacuole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
