In three to five sentences explain why animals cells do not require a cell wall or central vacuole

1 answer

Animal cells do not require a cell wall because they do not typically require the structural support that cell walls provide. Instead, animal cells have a flexible cell membrane that allows for movement and shape changes. Additionally, animal cells do not require a central vacuole because they do not store large amounts of water or maintain turgor pressure like plant cells do. Instead, animal cells have smaller vacuoles dispersed throughout the cell for specific functions such as storage or transport.
