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.

∙ 9y agoIn plant cells, large vacuoles are needed to store water and minerals for synthesizing the organic food by photosynthesis. Since plant need more amount of water, its cells have larger vacuoles to store the same.

∙ 15y agoplants have larger vacuoles because they have to make their own food meaning that they have to store a lot of the energy produced at one time!!!!!!! hope this helps =)

Animal cells can get water in other ways so therefore, they don't need a large vacuole

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.
Describe the microscopic and functional organization of a cell?
The nucleus of a cell is the power source or brain, every cell has one there are two types of cells- an animal cell and a plant cell: An animal cell has a cell membrane, a cytoplasm which is the covering of the cell, stored food, a mitachondria used for breathing and a small vacuole which contains water orother substances A plant cell has a cell wall which surrounds it and gives it shape and support, a cytoplasm, large vacuole, choroplasts which make and store food, a mitachondria
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.
Where is the large vacuole located in the plant cell?
Vacuole is a large organell.It in middle of the cell.
What cell have a large vacuole?
Plant cell
What structure in a plant cell allows the plant cell to make food?
What most of the plant cell is composed of by volume; a large central vacuole.
Which organelle is large in a plant cell but small or absent in an animal cell?
Cell vacuole
Where is the vacuole in the cell?
Typically, because the vacuole in plant cells is very large, it is located in the middle of the plant cell.
Do plant cell have a large vacuole?
yup
What is the size of a plant cell vacuole?
A little less than half the size of the cell
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.
Which cell structure is responsible for storing water and toxins in a plant cell?
This organelle is the central vacuole. It is only in plant cells and is usually the largest organelle in a plant cell.
Is large vacuole found in both cells?
no , large vacuole found in plant cell because in animal cell water requirement is completed by other sources while in plant require large vacuole to maintain their shape.
What has a large vacuole to store water?
plant cell
Does a plant cell have a large central vacuole?
yes
