A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterialcells. Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, though in certain cases they may contain solids which have been engulfed. Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these. The organelle has no basic shape or size, its structure varies according to the needs of the cell.

Are large vacuoles only found in plant cells?
Answer: Davidmt1: yes vacuoles are present in a plant cell. That is the organelle that holds food and water for the plant.
What is the major physical difference between vacuoles in plant cells and vacuoles in animal cells?
the vacuoles in an animal cell are smaller and help digest food, while plant cells have one central vacuole that takes up 60-90% of the cell depending on how much water it holds at a given time.
How do vacuoles in animal cell differ from plant cells?
Please Check your answer. almost all cells have vacuoles in plants because they don't have proper organs for excretory and for collecting food. hence all cells have vacuoles. If you wanna ask difference between plant & animal cell; they are below: S.N Plant cell Animal cell 1. Cell wall present absent 2. Chloroplast " " ( but euglina has) 3. Centromere absent present 4. Vacuoles present absent 5. nucleus is aside it's in center
What is the major physical difference between vacuoles in an plant cell and vacuoles in an animal cell?
In a plant cell the vacuole is much larger than the animal cells vacuole. The plant cells vacuole mostly contains water. In the animal cells vacuole it is used to store waste.Animal cells do not have vacuoles. Only plant cells
Why are vacuoles more important in plant cells than in animal cells?
I would say a plant because they make there own food and animals eat other things to get energy.
How do vacuoles in animal and plant cells relate to the function of vacuoles?
Vacuoles are used for temporarily storing materials and are generally larger in plant cells. Therefore they are able to hold more materials such as water and food for the plant cells. The vacuoles in plants control wilting.
Does an animal cell or plant cell have vacuoles?
Both cells have vacuoles which are used to store water, food/nutrients, and waste. But plant cells have larger vacuoles since they make their own food so it is necessary.
How are animal cells and plant cells different?
Animal cells do not have the same cell wall like plant cells do.Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, but animal cells don't.Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuoles (food & liquid compartments), but some animal cells have regular vacuoles while other animal cells don't have any vacuoles. these are the reasons

What do in vacuoles do plant cells?
Vacuoles store food and junk
Where are the vacuoles located in an animal cell?
Vacuoles, in the animal cells, are located in the cytoplasm of the cell. There are numerous vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the animal cell. In the plant cells, there is only one large vacuole in the plant cell. It is situated near the nucleus of the plant cell.
What is the major physical difference between a Vacuoles in plant cells and vacuoles in animal cells?
the vacuoles in an animal cell are smaller and help digest food, while plant cells have one central vacuole that takes up 60-90% of the cell depending on how much water it holds at a given time.
What cells do not contain food vacuoles?
animal cells
