Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a sac-like structure used to store water and nutrients? These are much larger in plant cells?
A
Lysosomes
B
Mitochondria
C
Vacuoles
D
Golgi Body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -A vacuole is a sac-like cell organelle that stores fluids. It is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. Plant cells contain a large vacuole, called the central vacuole, that functions as a storage tank for water and other molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: The Vacuole is a membrane-bound, sac-like structure responsible for the storage of food, water, and waste material of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles and Vesicles cells contain large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures called vacuoles that store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
