|
|
Plant cells have smaller vacuoles than animals cells

|
|
Plant vacuoles contain chlorophyll while animal vacuoles do not

|
|
Plant vacuoles are larger and fewer in number than animal vacuoles

Detailed explanation-1: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.
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: -Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane, whereas animal cells have only a cell membrane. Plants use cell walls to provide structure to the plant. Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.
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.
