do ANIMAL CELLS have VACUOLES?

Answer 1

Yes they do. They are much smaller than the vacuoles of a plant cell. The links below will show you a diagram of both plant and animal cells

Answer 2

This question is actually a little misleading....in a sense animal cells do infact have vacuoles however they do not serve the same function and really arnt called vacuoles in animal cells.

Honestly I would put no if you're answering a question. Plants definatly have vacuoles. In animal cells they're called lysosomes and serve a completely different function.

Answer 3

Yes, some animal cells do have vacuoles, which may be filled with liquid less dense than cytoplasm, or with lipids. Vacuoles are often more prominent in pathogenic tissue than in normal tissue. For example, hepatocytes (liver cells) in several disease states are filled with fat vacuoles.

If you are including Protozoans as "animal cells" then several other kinds of vacuoles are also found, including food vacuoles to hold phagocytized material until it can be digested, and contractile vacuoles to eliminate excess water from the cell.

Answer 4

Yes, both Animal cells and Plant cells have Vacuoles. Plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells do, though.

Answer 5

The HS biology answer is no.

If you remember, the plant cell is endowed with a cell wall which is great for maintaining plant structure, but makes waste excretion difficult. Therefore plant cells have to have vacuoles to store waste. Animal cells do not have cell walls and can export their waste; there is no need for vacuoles.

Answer 6

No, animal cells do not have vacuoles unlike plants. Vacuoles are air-filled sacs present in plants. Plants have vacuoles as a means of reserve sources of air for their photosynthetic needs.

Answer 7

You have tied answers, but the correct answer is yes, animal cells do have vacuoles.

Answer 8

yes, they are much smaller than plant cells though.

Answer 9

Comparatively small.

Answer 10

no
