15. Cells found in plants and animals have similarities but can differ in function. Consider the
following two organisms: a corn plant cell (Zea mays) and a camel cell (Bactrianus ferus). What is the
best explanation for the difference in the cellular vacuole size between these two biotic
organisms?
A. The corn cells' have a small vacuole size because it does not need long term water and electrolyte
storage.
B. The camel cells' have a small vacuole size because it does not need long term water and
electrolyte storage.
C. The camel cells' have a small vacuole size because it is not in contact with toxins that need to be
removed from the cell.
D. The corn cells' have a large vacuole size because it is in contact with many toxins in the soil which
need to be removed from the cell.
