Question

which statement about vacuoles is true?
only plant cells contain vacuoles.
only animal cells contain vacuoles.
vacuoles are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.
vacuoles are larger in animal cells than in plant cells.

Explanation:

Vacuoles are membrane - bound organelles. Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. In plant cells, vacuoles are large and often central, used for storage (e.g., water, nutrients), maintaining turgor pressure. Animal cells have smaller vacuoles (if present, sometimes called vesicles) mainly for storage and transport.

Answer:

Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.
