Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle found in a plant cell provides the plant cell with turgid pressure?
A
Rough ER
B
Golgi Bodies
C
Central Vacuole
D
Lysosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells additionally possess large, fluid-filled vesicles called vacuoles within their cytoplasm. Vacuoles typically compose about 30 percent of a cell’s volume, but they can fill as much as 90 percent of the intracellular space. Plant cells use vacuoles to adjust their size and turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central vacuole has many functions. Aside from storage, the main role of the vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central vacuole is a large vacuole found inside of plant cells. A vacuole is a sphere filled with fluid and molecules inside a cell. The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The central vacuole is a cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant.
