Plant cell's vacuoles are expanded because of the amount of water.
--------------------------
Plant cells have bigger vacuoles filled with cell sap. When you water a plant, the water collects in the vacuole and makes it stiff. This is why plants wilt if they don't get enough water.
If you mean vacuoles, in plants they serve as a large source of ions and glucose, stabilise pH and remain turgidity in order to push chloroplasts up against the surface of the cell to facilitate photosynthesis. In plant cells they can account for between 30-80% of the cell's volume.
In animal cells, where present, vacuoles only provide subordinate roles to do with exo and endocytosis.
They have larger vacuoles because plants have to store a large amount of food and waste. They cannot move so they need something to store. That is why they have larger 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.
Do animal cells have vacuoles?
animal cells do have vacuoles they are smaller than plant vacuoles
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
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.
What is the largest storage area in a plant cell called?
The vacuole. There are vacuoles in both plant and animal cells, but they are much larger in plants.
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.
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.
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.
Is Vacuoles smaller or larger in plant cells rather than animal cells?
It Is Larger!!
Do animal and plant cells have vacuoles?
they both have vacuoles. plant cells have bigger vacuoles then animal cells
Is a vacuole found in a plant cell or animal cell or both cells?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Is vacuole found in a plant cell or animal cell or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Are large vacuoles only found in plant cells?
Answer: Davidmt1: yes vacuoles are present in a plant cell. That is the organelle that holds food and water for the plant.
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
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
