Why do plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells?

OPTION A i.e. Plants have to store more water for structure and support

The plant has the large vacuole than animal cell because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to give plant structural support. The vacuole provide rigidity and firmness to the plants cell whereas in animal cell rigidity is not required so the vacuole are many and small. The membrane of vacuoles in plants is called tonoplast which is used mainly in regulating the movements of ions around the cell, and isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell.
