Why do you think most plant cells have a central vacuole while animal cells lack this organelle?

1 Answer

Answer :

Animal cells do in fact have a vacuole, just not as prominent asthat of plant cells. Plant cells use the vacuole not only forstorage, but also because it adds structure and rigidity to thecell.
