Question
One reason animal cells don't need a central vacuole is because they often have smaller vacuoles for storage. What is another reason animal cells don't need central vacuoles?(1 point)

structural support.
is that A B C or D?
D
can you explain why d?
D is the correct answer because animals have external structures like skeletons or other means of providing structural support, such as muscles and connective tissues. These external structures serve the same purpose as the central vacuole in plant cells, which is to provide rigidity and support to the cell or organism. Animals do not need a central vacuole because their structural support is provided by these external structures instead.

You were wrong it was plasma membrane
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct. If a cell is round and incapable of producing its own food, it would still have a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane, or cell membrane, is present in all cells and is responsible for regulating the entry and exit of substances into and out of the cell, regardless of whether the cell is capable of photosynthesis or not. Thank you for pointing out the error.
