Detailed explanation-4: -Final Answer: Centrioles are found only in animal cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
