Animal cells do not need central vacuoles because A. animals do not produce their own food.
Central vacuoles (shown in picture) are only found in plant cells where they play the roles of:
- storing water
- This also allows the plant cell to take in more light during photosynthesis.
The Central vacuoles do this by :
- sucking in more water and expanding
- This forces the contents of the plant cell to go closer to the cell membrane.
At the cell membrane, they will then receive more light which can then be used to produce food via photosynthesis.
As animal cells do not produce their own food, this is not needed in them.
