What is vacuole? What is the function in an animal cell?
Is there any difference between the vacuole of an animal cell and the vacuole of a plant cell?
Yes, there is a difference. In plant cells, vacuoles are much larger and occupy a significant portion of the cell volume. The primary function of the vacuole in plant cells is to maintain turgor pressure, which is important for providing support and rigidity to plant cells.
