Correct Answer
False
Explanation
False. A large central vacuole is a feature unique to plant cells. Animal cells may contain small vacuoles or vesicles (formed during phagocytosis or pinocytosis), but nothing comparable in size or function to the plant central vacuole, which can occupy most of the cell's interior volume.
