How does the way animal cells use their vacuoles compare to the way plant cells use theirs? a) both plant and animal cells use some of their vacuoles to store food b) both plant and animal cells rely on their vacuoles to the cells maintain their shape c) all animals cells need to have vacuoles, but one plant cells in the roots need to have them d) animal cells use their vacuoles constantly, but plant cells only need theirs during drought

The most suitable answer is option A.

Explanation:

Vacuoles are found in both plant cells and animal cells. Vacuoles are larger in plant cells while animal cells have smaller but more in the numbers. Vacuoles act as a storehouse for food or of nutrients a cell needs to survive.

They also store waste products some times so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. However, in plants, they provide support to the cell and help them to maintain shape. It increases in size with age.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
