Plant cells have smaller vacuoles than animals cells

Plant vacuoles contain chlorophyll while animal vacuoles do not

|
|
Plant vacuoles are larger and fewer in number than animal vacuoles

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In plant cells, vacuole stores lot of water and gives strength to the plant cell. For animals strength is given by the skeletal system present in the body.So vacuole need not have to give strength to the animal cell. That is why animal cells are having small vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles. Animal cells have one or more small vacuoles whereas plant cells have one large central vacuole that can take upto 90% of cell volume. In plant cells, the function of vacuoles is to store water and maintain turgidity of the cell. Vacuoles in animal cells store water, ions and waste.
