Detailed explanation-1: -True. In mature plant cells, the small vacuoles fuse to form a single large central vacuole that occupies up to 90% of the volume of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Also, other organelles take up larger space as compared to plant cells. Thus, we cannot say that animal cells have larger vacuoles that plant cells. So, the given statement is false and the correct answer is option A.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants.
