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.

Do prokaryotic cells have vacuoles?

Some prokaryotic cells may have vacuoles, but they are different from the vacuoles found in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic vacuoles are usually smaller and have diverse functions, such as storing nutrients or aiding in buoyancy control.

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 vacuoles?

Plant cells


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


How are animal cells and plant cells and 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 has a vacuole?

Many different types of cells have vacuoles, which are simply membrane-bound containers for various compounds. For example, the intestinal cells lining the microvilli of the jejunum have vacuoles holding various absorbed nutrients. The exocrine pancreas cells have vacuoles holding digestive enzymes. Eosinophils in mammals have vacuoles holding inflammatory granules.
