Animal cells do not require a cell wall because they do not need the structural support provided by a rigid cell wall, as they are typically surrounded by a flexible cell membrane that allows for movement and communication with other cells. Additionally, animal cells do not need a central vacuole because they do not rely on a large central vacuole for storage or maintaining turgor pressure, as plant cells do. Animal cells have smaller vacuoles scattered throughout the cytoplasm that serve various functions such as storage, digestion, and maintaining cell shape. Overall, the unique structure and function of animal cells do not necessitate the presence of a cell wall or a central vacuole for their normal functioning.
