In three to five sentences, explain why animal cells do not require a cell wall or a central vacuole for their functions.(4 points

Answer 1

Animal cells do not require a cell wall because they have a flexible plasma membrane that provides support and structural integrity. This allows animal cells to be more dynamic and adaptable compared to plant cells. Additionally, the absence of a central vacuole in animal cells is because they do not perform functions like storage of water, nutrients, and waste. Instead, animal cells have multiple smaller vacuoles that serve specific functions such as storage of ions or enzymes.
