Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A vacuole is found in plant cells and not animal cells-true or false?
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes. That is to say that their function is really to handle waste products, and by handle, mean take in waste products and also get rid of waste products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles present in both plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound subcellular structure involved in intracellular digestion. Instead of the large “vacuolar” organelles that are found in plants and fungi, animal cells possess lysosomes that are smaller in size and are enriched with hydrolytic enzymes similar to those found in the vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.
