Vacuoles are largest in ____ cells.
A
plant
B
animal
C
bacteria
D
protist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Final answer: The nucleus is the largest cell organelle present in a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles, cellular membrane-bound organelles, are the largest compartments of cells, occupying up to 90% of the volume of plant cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells contain a large vacuole, called the central vacuole, that functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules. In plant cells, the central vacuole serves a wide range of functions, both structural and physiological.
