In three sentences, explain why animal cells do not require a cell wall or a central vacuole for their functions.(4 points)

Animal cells do not require a cell wall because they rely on their flexible cell membranes to provide structure and protection. Unlike plant cells, they do not need the added rigidity that a cell wall provides. Additionally, animal cells do not require a central vacuole because they have smaller, scattered vacuoles that serve specific functions like storage and waste removal.
