Step-by-step explanation:

Because the animal vacuole is small because it hold waste products and water

And in plant the vacoles are bigger because they hold the water for food and when they do photosynthesis

In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.
