Detailed explanation-3: -A plant cell contains only one large vacuole while animal cells have more and they are much smaller. The number of vacuoles present in an animal cell depends on the type of cell and its function.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant cell has many small vacuoles, but the animal cell has one large vacuoleThe plant cell has one large vacuole, but the animal cell has many small vacuoles.
