Final answer:

Vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells, but they are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The article is correct because although vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells, they are larger in plant cells than in animal cells.

Plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell's vacuole can make up 90% of the cell's volume. In animal cells, vacuoles are much smaller.

In addition to containing most of the organelles found in animal cells, plant cells also have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids. These three features are not found in animal cells.
