Open in App

Solution

Vacuoles
Plant cells have a single large vacuole.
Vacuoles store excess water in them.
They help the plants to maintain the rigidity.
So, the size of the vacuole is greater than the animal cell vacuole as animal cells need to be flexible not rigid as plant cells.
Final answer : Vacuole present in plant cells is larger than animal cell.
