Question

what is the function of a vacuole in a plant cell and a vacuole in an animal cell?

Answer 1

This is just going off the top of my head but I know that a vacuole in a plant cell stores the water. To much it bursts to little it wilts. However I am a little puzzled by the animal cell one can't pick my brain for it. Sorry hope it helps.

Answer 2

Vacuoles are membrane-bound structures that have roles ranging from stoage to cell growth in plants. They are also found in some fungi and protists. The main function of a vacuole is regulation of volume, storage, and degradation. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that plays role in intracellular digestion and the release of cellular waste products.Plant cells have a large vacuole due to the amount of water the cell must hold to maintain it's shape the water in the vacuole creates something called turgor pressure when the vacuole has lots of water the turgor is highand pushes against the cell wall so that the cell is rigid when vacuole has less water the turgor is low and the cell is flaccid.

animal cells don't have to worry so much as since our cells are already in aqueous environment and already get water in lot of other ways.
