One reason animals don't need a central vacuole is because they often have smaller vacuoles for storage. What is another reason animals don't need central vacuoles?

Question

A. Animals cells have cell walls
B. Animal bodies have skeletons or other means of providing structure
C. animal cells are round
D. animals do not produce their own food

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Animal bodies have skeletons or other means of providing structure.

Unlike plants, which rely on the central vacuole to maintain turgor pressure and provide structural support, animals typically have skeletons or other structural systems (like cartilage or muscles) that help maintain their shape and structure without the need for a central vacuole.
