Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What cell am I? I don’t have ____ a vacuole
A
Animal
B
Plant
C
Animal and Plant
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -These are membrane-bound fluid-filled sacs present in the cytoplasm. Vacuoles are responsible for storage, excretion, osmoregulation, and digestion. In animal cells, vacuoles are small as compared to plant cells. Yes, animal cells have vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuole is an important part of many cells. Mature cells of all terrestrial plants, most fungi, and algae (except prokaryotic cells) have vacuoles. However, there are no vacuoles in animal cells and in the immature plant cells, as well as some highly mature plant cells (such as stone cells).
