Which of the following pair is correct? I. Plant cell - number of small vacuoles II. Animal cell - big central vacuole

Which of the following pair is correct? I. Plant cell - number of small vacuoles II. Animal cell - big central vacuole Correct Answer Neither I nor II

Explanation:

Cell: 

  • The cell is the fundamental unit of life. All the life activities are carried out by cells.
  • The organisms are classified based on the number of cells present in them.
  • Unicellular organisms are single-celled, while multicellular organisms have a large number of cells. 
  • Differences between the plant cell and animal:
    • ​The cell wall is present in Plant cells while it is absent in an animal cells. A cell wall gives mechanical support to a plant cell. 
    • Plants have both a cell wall that is made up of cellulose and a cell membrane (plasma membrane). The cell wall is, a rigid membrane matrix found on the surface of all plant cells whose primary role is to protect the cell and its content. 
    • Plant cells have a large central vacuole that can occupy up to 90% of the cell’s volume. Animal cells may have many small vacuoles, a lot smaller than the plant cell. 

So, both statement is incorrect.
