Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is found in both plant and animal cells but is much larger in plant cells because it helps to provide structure and support?
A
Nucleus
B
Mitochondrion
C
Chloroplast
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles-Storage Bins to the Cells Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells are known to have bigger vacuoles than that of animal cells as they need to store food and water. This is because the plant don’t possess the ability to move freely like that of animals. Thus, they possess large vacuoles as a reservoir in unfavorable conditions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both plant and animal cells contain a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and cell membrane. Plants and animals are both eukaryotic, meaning they have the ability to house membrane-bound organelles. Chloroplasts are required for producing chlorophyll from sunlight.
