describe these organelles and the organisms there found in

1. crystalline rod
2. kinetoplast
3. apicocomplex
4. contractile vacuole

I overheard a rather heated argument about whether or not animalcells have vacuoles.

One person said that they do, but they're much smaller thanvacuoles in plant cells.

The other person said they don't. While there issomething there that acts similar to a vacuole, it'sslightly different. The person also noted that the only websitesthat say that something as a vacuole aren't credible sites(ie. not University sites, etc...)

I'm really curious as to which it is: Do animal cells havevacuoles or not?
