question 37 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (02.04 mc) in terms of structure and function, how do the vacuoles in a typical plant cell compare to those of a typical animal cell? plant cell vacuoles are usually the same size as animal cell vacuoles, but they only store enzymes. plant cell vacuoles are usually no different from those of animal cell vacuoles since they both store food. plant cell vacuoles are usually smaller and more plentiful than animal cell vacuoles because they store both food and enzymes. plant cell vacuoles are usually larger than animal cell vacuoles because they store both food and enzymes.
Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole which is used for storage of water, nutrients, and waste products. Animal cells have smaller and multiple vacuoles mainly for storage of food and enzymes. The large size of plant - cell vacuoles helps maintain turgor pressure in the plant cell.
