Plant cells have just one large central vacuole, functioning as a site for the cells' waste. That is why people claim they can 'smell rain'. A law of nature states that high pressure regions always move into low pressure regions. When a low pressure front is over you, the higher pressure of the plant-cell central vacuoles cause the waste contents to move out of the cells and into the atmoshpere.

∙ 13y agoInitially , it has many small vacuoles that join up to form ONE big vacuole , when the plant cell becomes mature .

∙ 9y agoThey have one large water vacuole in plant. When it has water in it the plant is rigid when the plant needs water it is a lot softer.

How many vacuoles are found in a cell?
The number of vacuoles in a cell is not definite. But there are a few & small vacuoles in an animal cell and many & big vacuoles in plant cells.
Would you find a large permanent vacuole in a plant or animal cell?
Vacuoles can be found in plant and animal cells. Plant cells have water vacuoles to maintain the water balance inside the cell. An example of a vacuole in animal cells would be found in adipose tissue. These cells have large vacuoles for storing fat molecules.
How many vacuoles does an animal cell contain?
There is no set number of vacuoles in animal cells. There can be very few or very many depending on the type of cell. Plant cells usually have one very, very large central vacuole that fills with water to keep the plant upright, but there is no analogous structure in animal cells.
What are three structures that plant cells have that animal cells lack?
The animals cells do not have a cell wall whereas plant cells do. The plant cells have a large vacuole with cell sap whereas animal cells have many small vacuoles with no cell sap. The plant cells have chloroplast whereas animal cells do not.
Does a animal cell have a vacuole?
Vacuoles can be found in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial cells.
How many vacuoles are found in a cell?
The number of vacuoles in a cell is not definite. But there are a few & small vacuoles in an animal cell and many & big vacuoles in plant cells.
How many vacuoles does a plant cell have?
1
How many vacuoles does a young plant has?
a plant cell may have one large and one small vacuoles.
How many vacuoles does the plant cell have?
1 large one
How many vacuoles are there located in a typical plant cell?
2
Do animals contain central vacuoles?
As far as I know, they don't. some animal cells do have vacuoles, but they are not as big as those in plant cells. also, an animal cell can have many small vacuoles. some animal cells do not have vacuoles, because the functions that vacuoles carry out in a plant cell are performed by the lysosomes of the animal cell.
Why do plant cells possess large size vacuole?
Plant cells possess large size vacuoles as plant cell vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Many substances of importance in the life of the plant cell are stored in vacuoles. The central vacuole of some plant cells may occupy 50 - 90% of the cell volume
Where is the the vacuoles located?
The vacuole is located in an animal cell in many globs, but, also in a plant cell, yet slightly larger and usually in a large cluster/blob.
How does the central vacuole in a plant cell arise?
There are many small vacuoles present in a developing plant cell . they merge with each other during ontogony of cell .this results in formation of a large central vacuole in plant cell .Vacuoles grow by uptake of waer .
Why is a plant cell vacuole bigger than an animals vacuole?
An animal cell have many small vacuoles in the same amount of space as plant cells, on the other hand, a plant cell have one or two big vacuoles in the same amount of space.
How does the vacuole in animal cell differ from a vacuole in a plant cell?
the difference is: They have different spellings..
How many vacuoles are there in typical plant cell?
one big vacuole. every plant cell has one big vacuole, unless the cell has a disorder (or mutation)
