Are vacuoles smaller or larger in plant cells than in animal cells?

Even though they both have vacuoles, they are more prominent in a plant cell because a plant needs to retain water from photosynthesis since it can't walk around and drink water to re-hydrate its cells like an animal or human can. So they would be more prominent in a plant cell.

∙ 12y agothe vacuole cell is in plants
(edit)
The vacuole is not a cell, but it is found within both the plant and animal cells.
The vacuole is an organelle that can be found in both plant cells and animal cells, and have different functions for each.

∙ 12y agoThe vacuoles in a plant are larger than that of an animal cell. If you think about it logically it makes sense. A plant can't walk over to the nearest watering hole to get a drink, it has to wait until the next rain fall. Therefore, the plant needs a way to store water that the cell can use. The vacuole also provides extra support for the already fragile plant cell.
Hope it helps!

Plant cells typically have one very large vacuole while animal cells may have a few smaller vacuoles whose cumulative volume is still less than the single plant vacuole.

∙ 13y agoVacuoles are found in both plant and animals' cells because their cells need SOMEPLACE to store food, water, and wastes inside of themselves!

∙ 8y agoThey are in both. Plant cells have larger vacuoles.

∙ 8y agoVacuoles are found in both types of cells. The ones found in plant cells are much larger.

Do animal cells have vacuoles?
animal cells do have vacuoles they are smaller than plant vacuoles
Does animal cells have vacuoles?
Yes, animal cells do contain vacuoles, smaller than those found in plant cells but greater in number. Some animal cells do not however, have any vacuoles.
How are vacuoles different between cells?
Most animal cells have vacuoles that are meant for storage. Plants have a large central vacuole that is used to keep the cell firm, or turgid. Some unicellular organisms have vacuoles that are dedicated to ingesting outside objects.
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.
Saclike oranelles that store materials?
Sack like organelles that store materials in a cell are called vacuoles. Vacuoles tend to be larger in plant cells then in animal cells.
Is Vacuoles smaller or larger in plant cells rather than animal cells?
It Is Larger!!
Do animal cells have vacuoles?
animal cells do have vacuoles they are smaller than plant vacuoles
What structure is large and single in a plant cell but small and numerous in an animal cell?
The vacuoles of plant cells are much larger than the vacuoles of animal cells, however most animal cells do not have vacuoles.
Do vacuoles contain cells?
Yes, animal cells do contain vacuoles, smaller than those found in plant cells but greater in number. Some animal cells do not however, have any vacuoles.
Do have animal cells have Central vacuole?
No, only plant cells do. Animal cells do have smaller vacuoles though.
Does animal cells have vacuoles?
Yes, animal cells do contain vacuoles, smaller than those found in plant cells but greater in number. Some animal cells do not however, have any vacuoles.
Is vacuole found in the plant cells or animal cells or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Is a vacuole found in plant cells or animal cells or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Do animal and plant cells have vacuoles?
they both have vacuoles. plant cells have bigger vacuoles then animal cells
Does Animal and plant cells have Large Vacuoles?
no they do not
Is a vacuole found in a plant or animal or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
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.
