Plant And Animal Cell Vacuole Differences. The size of the animal vacuoles is relatively smaller as compared to the plant cell vacuole. Major structural differences between a plant and an animal cell include.
Vacuoles are membrane bound organelles. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants. The plant cell can also be larger than the animal cell.
Vacuoles in both plant and animal cells serve as storage organelles inside the cell.
The plant vacuole stores water whereas animal vacuole store nutrients ions waste products and water. Unlike the single large vacuoles in many mature plant cells the ones in animals are small and may be numerous. In an animal cell vacuoles are small insignificant and many in. The plant vacuole stores water whereas animal vacuole store nutrients ions waste products and water.
