Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which type of cell would you find a large vacuole that stores water, food, and other minerals?
A
Animal Cell
B
Plant Cell
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells contain vacuoles. Most adult plant cells have one large vacuole that takes up more than 30% of the cell’s volume. At certain times and conditions the vacuole takes up as much as 80% of the cell’s volume! In addition to storing wastes and water, the vacuole also helps to support the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells additionally possess large, fluid-filled vesicles called vacuoles within their cytoplasm. Vacuoles typically compose about 30 percent of a cell’s volume, but they can fill as much as 90 percent of the intracellular space. Plant cells use vacuoles to adjust their size and turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Central vacuoles Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole that typically occupies more than 30% of the cell’s volume, and that can occupy as much as 80% of the volume for certain cell types and conditions.
