Structure vacuole can be found in
A
animal cell only
B
plant cell only
C
animal and plant cell
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes. That is to say that their function is really to handle waste products, and by handle, mean take in waste products and also get rid of waste products.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are found inside the cells of plants, fungi, and some protists, bacteria, and animals, but only plant cells have a central vacuole. One of the plant cell’s distinguishing characteristics is its large central vacuole, which can take up 30-90% of the space in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound subcellular structure involved in intracellular digestion. 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-5: -Structure of Vacuole A vacuole is a membrane bound structure found in the cytoplasmic matrix of a cell. The membrane surrounding the vacuole is known as tonoplast. The components of the vacuole, known as the cell sap, differ from that of the surrounding cytoplasm. The membranes are composed of phospholipids.
