Is the vacuole found within a plant cell or animal cell?

The vacuole is found within a plant cell and animal cell. The plant cells have a large, central vacuole while animal cells have small, multiple vacuoles.


What part of the cell is a storage unit?

Vacuoles is your answer. In plant cells Vacuoles are very large in animal cells vacuoles are much much smaller usually not even labelled in diagrams.


What does a vacoule do?

Vacuoles can be found in plant cells, although the plant cell only has one vacuole. A vacuole stores water, food, and enzymes, and collects unwanted waste. A vacuole is a sac used to store water for the cell. Plant cells have a large vacuole. Animal cells have small vacuoles, if they have one at all. A vacuole maintains the acidic internal pH and also the turgor and hydrostatic pressure in the cells. They also isolate the harmful substances produced by cells which can harm its health. Vacuoles also protect cells from certain bacteria and destroy any invading bacteria.


Why is the vacuole important to the plant cell?

In plants, the vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes, and absorbs the waste products in the cell. In animal cells, smaller vacuoles are used to transport lipids and proteins out of the cell.


Why does a plant cell have on large vacuole?

In plant cells, large vacuoles are needed to store water. In animal cells, other things are stored in the vacuoles including food and waste, therefore there are many small vacuoles. The main reason plant's vacuoles are so big is to keep the plant from bursting. Plants can absorb too much water. Without the enlarged vacuole, the plant would burst.
