One reason animals cells do not need a central vacuole is because they often have smaller vacuole for storage. What is another reason why animals cells do not need central vacuole

Answer 1

Another reason animal cells do not need a central vacuole is that they do not maintain turgor pressure in the same way that plant cells do. Plant cells rely on a central vacuole to store water and maintain internal pressure, which helps keep the plant rigid and upright. In contrast, animal cells are more flexible and do not require turgor pressure for structural support; they rely on their cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix for support and shape. Additionally, animal cells are typically more mobile and vary in shape, reducing the need for a large, centralized storage organelle like a central vacuole.
