Which organelle is bigger in the plant cell than in the animal cell?
A
Cell membrane
B
Vacuole
C
Cell wall
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central vacuole is a cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle. It is surrounded by a membrane and holds materials and wastes. Whereas vacuoles are small in an animal cell and concerned with excretion and secretion.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than in animal cells because plant cells have more membrane-bound organelles. Plant cells have many membrane-bound organelles, and they need to store water and nutrients. The vacuoles are the most important of these.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells, but they tend to be much larger in plant cells compared to animal cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles, cellular membrane-bound organelles, are the largest compartments of cells, occupying up to 90% of the volume of plant cells.
