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 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
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
Do animal cells have vacuoles?
animal cells do have vacuoles they are smaller than plant vacuoles
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 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 in animal cells different from those in plant cells?
animal cells have either very small vacuoles, or no vacuoles at all, whereas plant cells have very large vacuoles.
How are the vacuoles in animal cells different from those plant cells?
animal cells have either very small vacuoles, or no vacuoles at all, whereas plant cells have very large vacuoles.
Do animal and plant cells have vacuoles?
they both have vacuoles. plant cells have bigger vacuoles then animal cells
What cells have vacuoles?
Plant cells
What is the major physical difference between vacuoles in a plant and vacuoles in an animal?
Plant cells central vacuole is much larger than an animals vacuoles.
What cells have large vacuoles?
Plants have large vacuoles
Do plant cells have several small vacuoles?
No plant cells have only one vacuoles. But in plant cells unlike animal cells they have very big (compared to their other organs) vacuoles were as animal cells have many small vacuoles.
How are vacuoles of animal cells different from vacuoles of plant cells?
Vacuoles in animal cells are uncommon and relatively small. If you imagine a cell as being the size of a shoebox, an animal cell vacuole would be about the size of a ping-pong ball. Vacuoles in plant cells are much bigger, if present. They give shape and form to the cells, and determine wilting. They are about the size of a pair of shoes in a shoebox.
How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
What is the major difference between vacuoles in a plant cell and vacuoles in a 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
Do only prokaryotic cells have vacuoles?
Only eukaryotic cells have vacuoles, prokaryotic cells dont have them
