Detailed explanation-1: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage of water and nutrients. It also helps maintain the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles, which also are used for storage of water and nutrients.
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: -Plants have large vacuoles. Animals have small-sized vacuoles. They have one large central vacuole. They have two or more small vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-4: -A prominent difference between a plant and an animal cell is the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts. Plant cells have chloroplasts and the cell membrane has an outer covering called cell wall. Animal cells lack both chloroplasts and cell walls.
