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?
A
Nucleus
B
Mitochondria
C
Chloroplast
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole is a cell organelle present in both plant and animal cells. It stores food, water, toxic waste etc. The vacuole present in a plant cell differs from that of an animal cell because the former has. Green plants produce oxygen which is utilized by all animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

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: -Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plant has the largest vacuole than animal cells because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to help the plant remain upright.
