Question

the total volume of plant cells is often significantly greater than the total volume in animal cells. the most reasonable explanation for this observation is that... o plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface - to - volume ratio than animal cells. o plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cells. o plant cells contain a large vacuole that occupies much of the volume of the cell. o animal cells are spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated.

Explanation:

Plant cells contain a large central vacuole which occupies much of the cell volume, increasing the overall cell volume. Animal cells lack such a large - scale vacuole structure.

Answer:

plant cells contain a large vacuole that occupies much of the volume of the cell.
