How many vacuoles are in an animal cell?

Best Answer: There is no set number of vacuoles in animal cells. There can be very few or very many depending on the type of cell. Plant cells usually have one very, very large central vacuole that fills with water to keep the plant upright, but there is no analogous structure in animal cells. read more

Jump to Animals - Most mature plant cells have one large vacuole that typically occupies more than 30% of the cell's volume, and that can occupy as much as 80% of the volume for certain cell types and conditions. read more

This is the animal cell that has one or more vacuoles but the plant cell contains only one vacuole. The size of the animal vacuoles is relatively smaller as compared to the plant cell vacuole. The one vacuole in the plant cells is larger in size and is capable of taking up to 90% of cell volume in some cases. read more
